Jenna Sherman Shares HOw to help your kids grow up happy and healthy

This weeks blog is brought to you by guest writer Jenna Sherman sharing tips on raising healthy and happy children through digestible tips.

When you're raising children, their well-being is a top priority. Some modern parenting blogs and social media "mom-fluencers" can be intimidating, with stringent demands like only feeding your kids organic and eliminating all screen time. Let's get real: Most people don't live that way. Today, Sommet Nannies shares some practical steps you can take to nurture your kids at any age.

Make Your Home a Safe Space

Healthy kids start with a healthy home. These tricks can help create a secure space.

  • When your kids are small, childproof your home, for example with outlet covers and cabinet locks. As you check into purchasing these and other quality products for the home, first check online review sites like Safe Smart Family for expert recommendations and advice.

  • If you have a yard, make it safe for kids to play, for example by installing a fence.

  • Instead of using chemical-laden cleaners, concoct your own using these recipes.

  • As your kids get older and enter the digital world, teach them about online safety.

  • Teach them about businesses, too! The LLC age requirement can vary state by state:

  • Determined by State Laws: LLC age requirements are established by individual state laws and regulations.

  • No Age Requirement: Some states do not specify a minimum age for forming or managing an LLC, allowing individuals of any age to participate.

  • Minimum Age Requirement: Other states impose a minimum age, typically 18 or 19 years old, for individuals to create or be a member/manager of an LLC.

  • State-Specific Regulations: Each state can have unique rules and regulations regarding LLC age eligibility.

  • Subject to Change: State laws can be amended, so age requirements may change over time.

  • Verify State Requirements: It's essential to research and confirm the specific age requirements in your state when forming an LLC.

  • Check State Resources: State-specific LLC information can often be found on the Secretary of State or Department of Business or Corporations website.

  • The following states require LLC organizers to be at least 18: Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, and Texas. However, it may be possible in California, Delaware, Nevada, and Wyoming.

    Find Fun Ways to Work Out as a Family

    Kids with active lifestyles will find it easier to maintain an exercise routine as they get older.

  • Simply taking walks together is a great way to keep moving. Try tips like using an activity tracker program to maximize your steps.

  • Classic outdoor games like hide-and-seek and tag can also get you all moving.

  • If your neighborhood isn't walkable, look for more pedestrian-friendly areas to explore as a family. You can scope out walkability scores online.

  • As they get older, encourage kids to stay active, for example through team sports.

    Make Sure to Address Mental Health, Too

    Here are some resources to help build emotionally resilient kids.

  • Follow best practices for raising confident kids, like teaching them to embrace imperfection.

  • Positive affirmations are another way to boost your child's self-esteem.

  • Recognize signs your kid needs mental health support, like changing sleep patterns.

    There's simply no greater reward for a parent than seeing your child thrive! By taking steps to nurture your child's health and happiness now, you'll help them grow into resilient, successful adults. From family exercise to specialty programs for kids, the above resources can help support your child's mental and physical health.
