The Counselor's Corner
This month we’re talking about Gratitude! The definition we are using in class is:
Gratitude: choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives
Family Conversation Starters:
What if you woke up tomorrow and only had the things you expressed Gratitude for today? What would you still have? What would disappear? How can you express Gratitude daily?
Where do you think you could give more effort in expressing your Gratitude in your own life? Make a list together of ways you can improve and who you would like to show more appreciation to in your life!
Family Challenge: Family Gratitude Jar
Find a place in your home to display a glass jar. Cut up small slips of paper and place them next to the jar. Use the jar to collect special people, places, events, and memories that your family is thankful for. Find a time each week to add slips of Gratitude to the jar. Having a gloomy day or a challenging time as a family? Pull out the slips of Gratitude and read them aloud as a family as a reminder of all of your grateful moments.
