How it works
→ Counting your blessings is the very essence of gratitude practice, and it’s never too early to share this experience with children.
→ Children who regularly engage in gratitude practice are more likely to be resilient, report higher levels of happiness, and enjoy better mental health than their peers.
→ This book is an invitation to set aside a few minutes every day to count blessings as a family and give thanks for all that you have.
→ Consistent gratitude practice and engaging in family mindfulness rituals are wonderful gifts that will help prepare young children for whatever challenges may come their way.
Family Gratitude
