Entre el trabajo, las responsabilidades familiares, las citas y el estrés diario, cuidarnos a nosotros mismos puede quedar fácilmente relegado al último lugar de la lista. Sin embargo, los pequeños momentos de atención, apoyo y conexión pueden ayudarnos a tener más días buenos, tanto para nosotros como para las personas que amamos.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vea el siguiente video:</span></p>
<p></p></div><div class="x-frame x-frame-video-embed e45264-e7 myxc-7 myxc-8"><div class="x-frame-inner"><div class="x-video x-video-embed"><iframe title="vimeo-player" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1193394832?h=b9b3bfd30e" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share"   allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div></div><hr class="x-line e45264-e8 myxc-5"/><div class="x-text x-content e45264-e9 myxc-6"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A muchos padres les cuesta dar prioridad al cuidado personal, y con razón. La culpa, la falta de tiempo, las preocupaciones económicas, las expectativas culturales y la falta de apoyo pueden hacer que el cuidado personal parezca algo inalcanzable. Sean cuales sean sus circunstancias, usted merece apoyo, y hasta el más pequeño gesto de cuidado cuenta.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aquí tiene algunas formas sencillas de cuidar su bienestar emocional esta semana:</span></p>

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pida ayuda cuando la necesite</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tómese un breve descanso cuando se sienta abrumado</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Descanse siempre que pueda</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Póngase en contacto con amigos o familiares que le brindan apoyo</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dedique tiempo a actividades que le den alegría</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recuerde que buscar apoyo es una señal de fortaleza</span></li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Este mes, propóngase a elegir solo un pequeño acto de autocuidado. Unos momentos de tranquilidad, un paseo al aire libre, una conversación con alguien en quien confía o simplemente respirar profundamente pueden marcar la diferencia.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Porque los días buenos comienzan cuando nos cuidamos a nosotros mismos, y usted también se merece ese cuidado. No está solo.</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Between work, family responsibilities, appointments, and everyday stress, taking care of ourselves can easily move to the bottom of the list. But small moments of care, support, and connection can help create more good days for ourselves and for the people we love.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Watch the video below:</span></p></div><div class="x-frame x-frame-video-embed e45258-e7 myx6-7 myx6-8"><div class="x-frame-inner"><div class="x-video x-video-embed"><iframe title="vimeo-player" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1193379694?h=1630470f7b" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share"   allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div></div><hr class="x-line e45258-e8 myx6-5"/><div class="x-text x-content e45258-e9 myx6-6"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many parents struggle to prioritize self-care—and for good reason. Guilt, lack of time, financial stress, cultural expectations, and limited support can all make self-care feel out of reach. Whatever your circumstances, you deserve support — and even the smallest act of care counts.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are a few simple ways to support your emotional wellness this week:</span></p>

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ask for help when you need it</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take a short break when feeling overwhelmed</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rest when possible</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reach out to supportive friends or family</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make time for activities that bring you joy</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember that seeking support is a sign of strength</span></li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This month, challenge yourself to choose just one small act of self-care. A few quiet moments, a walk outside, a conversation with someone you trust, or simply taking a deep breath can make a difference.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because more good days start with caring for ourselves— and you deserve that care too. You are not alone.</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leer con su hijo o contarle historias es una de las cosas más poderosas que puede hacer por su bienestar emocional. Los libros ayudan a los más pequeños a poner nombre a sus sentimientos, a lidiar con emociones intensas y a saber que no están solos en lo que viven. Y para los padres y cuidadores, la hora del cuento también es una oportunidad para conectarse, escuchar y modelar el tipo de conciencia emocional que construye familias sanas y prósperas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">En este Mes de la Concientización sobre la Salud Mental, hemos recopilado una lista de libros bilingües para ayudarle a usted y a su pequeño a explorar temas como las emociones, el autocuidado, la ansiedad y la resiliencia, un cuento a la vez. Cada libro es un paso pequeño pero significativo hacia más días buenos para toda su familia.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No lo olvide: ¡su biblioteca local es uno de los mejores recursos a su disposición! Es posible que muchos de estos títulos ya estén en los estantes, y su bibliotecario siempre es una excelente fuente de recomendaciones. </span></p></div><hr class="x-line e45252-e7 myx0-5"/><div class="x-text x-text-headline e45252-e8 myx0-9"><div class="x-text-content"><div class="x-text-content-text"><h2 class="x-text-content-text-primary">Libros</h2>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reading with your child or telling stories is one of the most powerful things you can do for their emotional well-being. Books help little ones name their feelings, navigate big emotions, and know that they are not alone in what they experience. And for parents and caregivers, storytime is also an opportunity to connect, listen, and model the kind of emotional awareness that builds healthy, thriving families.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Mental Health Awareness Month, we've put together a bilingual book list to help you and your little one explore topics like emotions, self-care, anxiety, and resilience — one story at a time. Each book is a small but meaningful step toward more good days for your whole family.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don't forget — your local library is one of the best resources available to you! Many of these titles may already be on the shelf, and your librarian is always a wonderful source of recommendations. </span></p></div><hr class="x-line e45248-e7 myww-5"/><div class="x-text x-text-headline e45248-e8 myww-9"><div class="x-text-content"><div class="x-text-content-text"><h2 class="x-text-content-text-primary">Books</h2>
