The Importance of Gratitude

This is a running theme in so many of my blog posts, lesson plans and general day to day living. We like to include some form of gratitude into our day whether it is writing it down before we go to sleep, talking about it, playing gratitude themed games or using it as a theme for our art. 

Gratitude can make you happier and healthier, physically and mentally. I write about the benefits of gratitude more in this blog post : Have an attitude of Gratitude.

Gratitude is a mindset and not something we can hold in our hands or point to so we have to get creative in the way we teach it to our children. Instead of focusing on getting children to see it, we should bring focus on getting children to feel it. A great way to do this is through art. Children have such beautiful imaginations and it is wonderful to see their creativity flourish. This can also be a really fun opportunity for adults to get creative. 

Start by setting up a clear space, without distractions of television. You could even take this activity outside if it is a nice day! Get pens, crayons, glitter, paint or anything you feel like getting arty with today and your paper ready. 
Choose from the following prompts to help your child (and yourself if joining in) feel the gratitude in what they have at this very moment. 

1. Draw something that makes you happy.

2. Draw someone you love.

3. Draw something that makes you feel good.

4. Draw someone who helps you.

5. Draw something that makes you feel thankful everyday. 


I would love to see some of your drawings! Feel free to share with me by emailing me at tashabryant@hotmail.com or tag me on social media www.facebook.com/amazingmekidsyoga  www.instagram.com/amazing_me_yoga  or right here in the comments! Enjoy!
