52: 8 Mindful Tips for Teaching Children Gratitude

8 Mindful Tips for Teaching Children GratitudeGratitude is a practice. It results in positive thinking. In a difficult time and world, the one true factor that can make the most impact is exercising gratitude. It is complex, yet very simple. The cause of resentment and poor behavior is a direct result of feeling undervalued, not worthy, not heard, and not cared about. When we focus on the things in which we do value and are the most grateful for, we can change resentment into gratitude and love. Recognizing and expressing gratitude towards children can change everything. Expressing gratitude is a simple answer to a complex problem. We need to stop thinking about gratitude as emotion and begin to live it as an action. Living your life as an expression of gratitude is the greatest give you can give a child and yourself.Links Mentioned in the Show:Gratitude Journal for ChildrenFree Gratitude Journal SampleGratitude Lap Book for Primary ChildrenSubscribe and Review: Are you subscribed to my podcast?
