ESSENTIAL MINUTE | BRAVE
One thing we talked about in this episode was kids being more independent. And while some of us might hate to hear that, because after all we want our kids to stay little, it’s such an essential lesson as they move into adulthood one day.
But your kids might not be excited or confident enough to take some of this independence on. That is why I wanted to dive inot the essential oil bend Brave. This is a part of the Kids Collection from doTERRA and is the courage blend.
This roller can help invigorate your child while creating a confident and courageous atmosphere. I always love to gibe tools for parents to add to their toolbox, but as we put in a lot of these strategies and techniques, our kids are creating their own toolboxes as well.
They can simply use this by rolling on their wrists, neck, or over their heart! Or they can apply it to diffuser jewelery like lava beads so they can keep the scent with them all day.
BONUS: If you want to add this to your toolbox, along with any other oils/products, you can get wholesale pricing just by using the link below AND a 1-year membership for FREE (with no ordering requirements).
