Westerville Caring & Sharing

Westerville Caring & Sharing The mission of this organization is to encourage individuals, businesses, civic, church and school gr We also accept referrals from churches and individuals.

The Westerville City School System identifies students who need assistance from Westerville Caring and Sharing. If the student qualifies for the free or reduced lunch program (currently approximately 4,100 students), they can be helped by Caring and Sharing. Many of our families have suffered job losses or layoffs; have been injured or ill and unable to work; or are a single parent household with one income or two parents working at low wages.

Interesting!

Two kiwis before bed sound like a snack.

Your body treats them more like a quiet little sleep signal.

The real trick is what happens after the lights go out.

In sleep studies, people ate two kiwis about an hour before bed for several weeks, and their nights changed in measurable ways.

They fell asleep faster, stayed asleep longer, and spent less time staring at the ceiling like it owed them money.

Kiwis bring serotonin, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, and antioxidants to the pillow. That mix may help support the body’s sleep rhythm while easing oxidative stress during recovery.

It is not a magic fruit. It is a small biological nudge with green flesh, black seeds, and surprisingly good timing.

Sometimes the best bedtime routine fits in your palm.

This might be one of the most important things we are not talking about enough as a society.

We pour billions into the criminal justice system, into addiction treatment, into mental health crisis intervention… and yet we still don’t prioritize teaching children how to understand and regulate their emotions. We treat the consequences but not the root.

Here’s what the research tells us:
❤️ Children who develop emotional regulation skills are less likely to turn to substances to cope with pain they don’t know how to process.
❤️ They are less likely to respond to conflict with aggression.
❤️ They are more likely to build healthy relationships, make thoughtful decisions under pressure, and navigate the inevitable hard moments of life without falling apart or hurting others.

Because when a child learns to sit with discomfort, to name what they’re feeling, to calm their nervous system instead of acting from it, they are building the most important life skill there is.

✨ Emotional regulation isn’t a soft skill; it’s a survival skill.

And it starts at home, in the small everyday moments. When you help your child name their feelings instead of dismissing them, when you stay calm during their storm instead of escalating and when you model what it looks like to take a breath, feel something hard, and choose your response instead of just reacting.

✨ You are not just raising a child; you are shaping the kind of human they will be in every room they walk into for the rest of their life. ✨

And that is not a small thing; that is everything! 💜
