Limit exposure to media as much as possible

With so much happening in the world right now, it's easy to become overwhelmed with negative information. Find other ways to spend your time and ask your parents to keep you posted on what you need to know. 

Follow a schedule
Set a reasonable bedtime (no later than 10pm), set your alarm so you're up no later than 9am.

Limit screen time
This includes TV, phones, computers, iPads, video games - it's anything with a screen! Data shows that too much screen time has negative impacts on your health and well-being.

Go outside - be active!
Exercise is critical for your brain and body. It helps us feel better, improves our mood, and gives us something to do. Keep your blood pumping by doing activities each day. Take a walk, play hide and seek, complete a workout video.

Take care of yourself
Many of you might be asked to watch siblings and help out around the house during this time. Everyone will need to step up and do extra things; however, be sure you are taking care of yourself as well. Keep up with your personal hygiene, get enough sleep, and find a time and space for your body to relax.
