2. Daily Gratitude Practice helps children see the positive side of a situation instead of dwelling on the negative. By becoming more positive they will see solutions in stead of problems and move away from worrying about the the past and future, focusing more on the present and how they can be of greater service to themselves and others.

Writing a journal can make us more aware (and self-aware) and help us detect previously unnoticed, unhealthy patterns in our thoughts and behaviours. It allows us to take more control over our lives and puts things in perspective. Furthermore, it can help us shift from a negative mindset to a more positive one, especially about ourselves (Robinson, 2017).

Note from instructor:

We live in a very complex world…and it’s getting busier by the day. It’s no wonder so many children feel overwhelmed especially as they transition from primary to secondary school. These times of worry can have a negative impact on a child with lasting effects. An unhealthy body and mind impairs their capacity to learn, grow and experience life. This course provides tools that act as a child's compass steering them through the noise, and guiding them to make good decisions.

My fun and engaging storybooks and positivity journal are two such tools that move them away from anxiety, stress, bullying and negative self-talk, and prepare them for a life of positivity, gratitude, happiness, success and confidence.
