Here are some activities you and your family may find helpful and in some cases fun:
| PHYSICAL ACTIVITY | Regular physical activity can help your teen (and you) feel more energetic, improve focus and attention, and promote a better outlook. Physical activity guidelines for teens recommend that they get 1 hour or more of moderate to strong physical activity daily.

| FUN CHALLENGE | Balloon-In-Air Challenge Let the next challenge be against gravity. Picture this: a bunch of you fighting in a room full of balloons, trying your level best to not let them touch the ground. All you are allowed to do is blow them up when they descend. Each person has their colour of balloon to save. The person who wins gets to jump on all the balloons that finally fall on the floor. |

Little Bowl of Goodness!
This recipe is for all of those missing your favourite Japanese restaurant or dreaming of the day when you can travel overseas again.
This little bowl of goodness is full of flavour and with the addition of lots of fresh vegetables and bone broth it’s overflowing with nourishment.
Bone broth offers a long list of benefits:
For one, it's a great source of protein (about 6 grams per cup) and minerals like calcium, phosphorous (good for bones and teeth), and potassium, which helps move nutrients into cells and waste out of cells.
It also contains nutrients such as glucosamine and collagen important for gut and skin health, as well as glycine which can assist with getting a restful night’s sleep.
