IMMUNE STRENGTH
Begin or refresh their immune strengthening routines for the fall: Note - I’ve listed all the products I talk about in the School Shop further down
Taking their vitamins + D/K2 drops in the morning (here’s a video about doTERRA’s kids vitamins)
Rolling OnGuard TOUCH on their feet before school (they do this for the first 2 weeks of school and then as needed) And the kids love rolling the Brave roller bottle on their hands and running through their hair before school. If there has been a lice warning sent home - we will use the Tea Tree TOUCH or the Peppermint touch for a week along their hairline and throughout their hair
Using the OnGuard sanitizing spray at school when they can’t wash their hands. When they get home, the first thing they do is wash their hands with the OG foam soap - it’s the best!
Making an afternoon smoothie with greens + doTERRA fish oil (great after school) and taking their PB Assist probiotics at night.
Sample Smoothie Recipe: 1 cup coconut water, 1 cup organic spinach, 1 (frozen) banana, 1 handful frozen strawberries, 1 tbsp collagen, 1 tsp chia seeds, 1 tsp fish oil
Think about the rhythm that you want your day to have as a family. In the morning, think about everything that needs to be done and add 20 min, so you can establish a peaceful wake up time. At night - think about the things that are important to you (ie snuggling before bed) and work backwards from a bedtime goal to know when to begin things. I personally find dinner needs to be around 530p in order to have the kids in bed by 830p
I have their routine printed for them so they can also help around the house on the weekend. Here is what their daily/weekly rhythm looks like … I’m really protective of our schedule and not saying yes to too many things so that we can honor this and stay healthy + strong:
Refresh dental routine if needed. (we soak our toothbrush heads once a week in 3% hydrogen peroxide)
We are always working on prevention of cavities with the kids. We try and keep our sugar in check, increase fat with fat soluble vitamins of A, D3 and K2, and increase minerals in our diet with nuts, dark leafy greens, beans, seeds, shellfish, fish, mushrooms, whole grains- sprouted, (some of my kids eat: beef and lamb) avocados, dried fruits, (though some research shows that dairy can also increase minerals- we choose to not eat processed dairy)
To really go into how to revamp our dental care - I highly suggest this book
to find a holistic biological dentist near you - it’s worth the travel.
