GRATITUDE

Growing strong character and stronger families - one patch at a time.

It's a proven concept, gratitude and anxiety can't exist in the brain at the same time. We recommend choosing a timeline to focus on this attribute (a week, month, etc.) and prioritizing intentional, doable tasks to cultivate Gratitude together!

Model gratitude daily. "I'm so grateful for this sunny day," or "Thank you for setting the table."
Create a family ritual - share one thing you're thankful for each night
Help them write thank-you notes or draw pictures for people who have helped them
Sent them off to school by saying, "I am grateful!" together
