7 Mindsets: Attitude of Gratitude

 Attitude of Gratitude

During the month of January our social and emotional curriculum focus is on an Attitude of Gratitude. Take a minute (or 6!) to watch this kid-focused video to highlight the idea of gratitude - especially with this week's focus, Be More Grateful.

Here's an overview of this week's focus. An overview of the weekly focus for this whole month will be shared in the family newsletter this week.

Week 2: Be More Grateful - We all have the choice to focus on the good or the bad in life. If we focus on the positive things, they expand and guide us down the path to our dreams. If we spend our time in regret, jealousy, and anger, then the negatives multiply and we likely find our dreams sidelined and our goals unattained. We must simply be more grateful, reflecting as much as possible on the godo things we have in our lives now, as well as those that are coming to us.

Try this!

There are 3 parts to gratitude:

• First - feeling grateful for the good things in your life.
• Second - expressing your gratitude to the people who have made your life better.
• Third - reflect and then adopt new behaviors as a result of interactions with those who have helped you, and the things you are grateful for. Make gratitude your default position!
