There are many types of responsibilities to teach, like household chores, school, taking care of our selves and even responsibility for our actions. When kids learn responsibility, their self-esteem grows, their sense of independence expands and they enhance their problem-solving, time management and accountability skills! Just like everything else in parenting, teaching your kids responsibility takes time, intention, and work. Start with small tasks and build upon these as they accomplish learning new skills. Household responsibilities are a great place to start - check out these helpful tips below. For more tips on helping kids master responsibility at home, check out our full blog here: https://bit.ly/45Yn5db 🎶 Try to make cleaning the house fun! Put on some tunes and sing along while you work or put a timer on and see if you can beat the clock. 👏 Once your child has the hang of a few chores, make a chore chart to help keep everyone on track. 🚫 Avoid the temptation to go back and do it “your way.” This will lead to your child feeling that they can’t do the task themselves. They will be less enthusiastic to help out next time. ❤️ When teaching household responsibilities, approach it like a coach teaching little kids how to play soccer or a piano teacher teaching a new student how to read notes -- One building block at a time. * * * 🌟For more free tips and resources to help you positively impact your family’s mental wellbeing, join the On Our Sleeves movement today: https://lnkd.in/dVFt9tP6 #DaytonChildrensHospital #DaytonChildrens #OnOurSleeves #childrensmentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #mentalwellness #emotionalwellbeing

We love to see our staff grow their careers, just like Rosalyn did this year when she became a sleep technologist!

Grateful that she participated, Rosalyn shared, “I transitioned from being a team lead in the environmental services department to becoming a registered polysomnographic technologist, thanks to A-STEP. I completed clinical hours, modules, and lots of studying to successfully pass the exam, and now I’m proud to be part of the sleep medicine team!” In partnership with our sleep medicine physicians, Rosalyn uses a variety of tools to perform sleep studies, evaluate sleep patterns, and treat sleep disorders in kids such as insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea and more.

Quinn is an athlete through and through, playing football, hockey and more! But when Quinn took a hit in his varsity football game, it changed all his plans for the next year. He broke his tibia and fibula, the bones in his lower right leg. This was a serious injury that required 3 surgeries and physical therapy. Dr. Nicholas Gajewski, pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Dayton Children’s was there every step of the way, from performing all 3 surgeries to offering never ending support and encouragement to Quinn. Quinn’s injuries also took a mental toll on him. His mom shared, “When your child identifies as an athlete and can no longer play, they can feel lost.” But Quinn continued to persevere and worked hard throughout his recovery in physical therapy. After a year of surgeries and therapy, Quinn made a return to sports just in time for his final hockey season as a Senior! Way to go, Quinn! 👏 🩻 From injuries on the playground to the football field, many kids will have a broken bone at some point during childhood.
