Two Reasons to Celebrate in April!

By the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth

First, April is Child Abuse Prevention month! We invite you to visit www.coconinokids.org to see how your community can get involved in supporting child abuse prevention efforts. Second, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) annual Week of the Young Child (WOYC) is April 2-8^th. Learn more at https://www.naeyc.org/events/woyc.

Too often, child abuse or neglect results from adults’ overwhelming stress. In our busy life, self-care can seem like an extra chore. However, first and foremost, self-care prioritizes our health. When we take care of ourselves, we become more centered and can bring our best selves to those we love, work with, and our community.

So, CCC&Y wants to kick off the month with a small gift for you…a calendar for 30 days of mini-self-care experiences! We encourage you to print and share with your networks! Maybe even set up a family or workplace challenge. Each of you does so much for others. So, this month we challenge you to do something each day for yourself! Whether by enjoying the arts, savoring a healthy meal, playing with youth, gathering for a family or friend game night, walking in nature, or talking with a friend, we hope you fill your cup with moments of self-love!
