There’s a lot of noise out there about how your period affects your workouts. Some of it’s helpful. A lot of it is confusing. The truth is, we’re still learning. Much of the research only includes people with textbook cycles—leaving out many others who are navigating birth control, anovulation, perimenopause, pregnancy, and so many different realities.

If you’ve ever felt strong one week and sluggish the next—if some days your body feels light and powerful, and others it feels like moving through mud—you’re not imagining it.

Swimming and cycling, day camps and sleepovers, watermelon and all the ice cream; summer break is what our children live for! With all the free time and gallivanting, children can benefit from a few guided activities to help them rebalance. Here are five simple activities for you to do with your children that will foster calm in their minds (and invite peace into your home!).
