Staying Afloat and Finding Calm

In times like these, sometimes it helps to take a moment and remember to breathe. I’ve been finding that the Jelly Cam from the Monterey Bay Aquarium helps me to do just that. Watching the jellies float by on screen is the next best thing to seeing them in real life.

Book and activity recommendations including Monterey Bay Aquarium, Calm Mindfulness for Kids, and Yoga for Kids
