November Focus: Gratitude
Grateful People are Happy People... it's a Fact!
What is Gratitude? Researchers who study the effects of gratitude define it as more than just feeling thankful for something - it is more like a deeper appreciation for someone or something, which produces longer lasting positivity. Practicing gratitude is not necessarily an innate behavior for all people. However, “gratitude seems to work like a muscle” (Owen Griffith, Practicing Gratitude in the Classroom) - the more you utilize it, the more you develop your gratitude muscles. (From Lewis-Palmer HS Gifted and Talented website)
Week 1:
How does the practice of gratitude improve the lives of students?
Weeks 2-4: Spend time talking together about the ways we can be mindful about our lives and our world. This Gratitude Calendar has a different action for each day in November. Enjoy practicing gratitude and mindfulness while connecting as a family!
