The aim of Emotional Wellness Month is to remind people to disconnect and take time for themselves. Emotional well-being can have a significant impact on one’s overall health, whereas mental and emotional stress can result in negative physical reactions, a weakened immune system, and poor health.

The Genius of Play’s new playbook features activities to help children learn and practice the key components of emotional intelligence.

Some of the activities that can be found in the playbook include:

• Doing a yoga pose is a low-impact method of strengthening the body

• Using calming bottles to encourage creativity and relieve tension

• Doing an emotions word search to boost overall brain power and improve concentration
