Research shows that most diseases stem from stress, so teaching children how to relax & play will support them to live a healthy life. Relaxation and Play life skill activities can also reduce anxiety. A recent study (Manzioni et al. 2008) reviewing 10 years of research, found that anxiety could be reduced through relaxation techniques. There are a variety of relaxation activities you can teach your child in this Home Activity Work Book which help children to improve the oxygen flow to their brain, cope with stressful situations and manage their emotions.
Developing good work-life balance should begin as young as possible. Maggie Dents Chapter titled Helping Children Manage Stress, in the book Inspired Children: How the leading minds of today raise their kids, explains that many adults cant manage their stress because they didnt learn how to deal with stress and distress as children. So its very important to learn this skill as a child. Do you and your children regularly take time out to relax & play together? Helping children relax and play will help them to identify when they are overworked, tired or simply need to rest and to actually take time out relax and play.

Dedication
For my wonderful Mother without your support Id have very little time for relaxation and play. A heartfelt thankyou, Mum.
Contents
Hello, Im Dr Rosina McAlpine and like you, Im a busy working parent. Whether you work from home, in an office or in the field, your time is valuable.
When I first became a parent, I realised I didnt have all the skills I needed to support my sons development; despite having a PhD in education and 24 years experience teaching at university.
So, I decided to find the resources I needed to help our son develop key life skills and personal qualities, so he could lead a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.
I have spent years researching best parenting practices from the leading child development experts of our time. Ive met with them, talked with them and read their work, and now I want to share what Ive discovered with you.
Bringing everything Ive learned together, Ive developed seven key life skill areas to inspire you and your children. They are:
Personal Power: Self-esteem and resilience
Health and Wellbeing
Communication and Relationships
Education, Careers and Money
Environment and Social Understanding
Relaxation and Play
Inspired Creativity
Because everyone has different lifestyles, I have presented these life skills in different ways:
