Feelings of gratitude nurture our individual mental health and fortify our bonds with other people. The grown-ups answered without hesitation, yet with a solemn sadness. How do you verify the weight loss? Cancer patients would go without supplies, care, and encouragement.


A Home for Every Child - Say Yes to donating the equivalent of one Walmart trip or one grocery store receipt to your favorite Grant County charitable cause. Oh, my goodness, this is so good!


It was the quickest way I could think of addressing yesvember three-year-olds newly reali zed ideology that speaking his wish list out into the atmosphere would make said items magically appear under the tree. All of this childlike greed delivered from a crisp red Toy catalog delivered to our mailbox, that I had left out on the counter. Besides an innocent peek into the Pottery Barn Catalog- I have gotten pretty good at quickly tossing out the massive onslaught of catalogs arriving this time of year- not so subtly beckoning me toward greed, consumerism and consumption. Every year, holiday consumerism slowly builds to a crescendo of crazed shoppers clotheslining each other at big box stores to get the latest self-hatching Elmo P360 Game or something like that. No parent sets out on a mission to center the holidays around the things. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, yesvember good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build yesvember relationships. In a famousthey asked all participants to write a few sentences each week, one group writing about what they were grateful for the prior week, the second writing about things that irritated or displeased them, and the third were asked to write about any event in general. After 10 weeks the group focusing on gratitude was more optimistic, felt yesvember positive about their lives in general, and experienced yesvember well-being. Getting practical with your child and gratitude The idea is, if practiced consistently and the holidays are a great time to start. Due to the neurobiology of our brains, the more we intentionally stop and re-direct our thought patterns toward gratitude, the more we re-wire our brains to do so more often, thus activating other areas of the brain that make us feel good and thus inspiring more gratitude. Feelings of gratitude nurture our individual mental health and fortify our bonds with other people. The personal and interpersonal benefits of gratitude occur at both a psychological and neurobiological level. The 3 step gratitude practice yesvember makes growing gratitude easy Gratitude can be a pretty abstract concept for a child. We can make it more concrete for them by helping to draw their yesvember to three different lenses of gratitude; self, community, and the world. Gratitude for what lies within ourselves Brainstorming what we appreciate about ourselves is a great way to get your child thinking about yesvember own individual gifts and strengths. Are they grateful for their ability to work hard on multiplication. Or for their strong legs that help them to run at soccer practice. Your child may need support in drawing out their own unique traits and characteristics, which is a wonderful opportunity to reflect all the amazing things you see in them each day. Gratitude for our communities Bringing an awareness to what goes on in our communities every day that supports your child directly or indirectly in some waywill likely be eye-opening for them. Gratitude for our world We can expand our frame of reference even further by stretching out to things much larger than ourselves. Whether this is God, the universe, mother nature or any other higher power you may recognize, indicates that a sense of spirituality gives meaning and value to our yesvember. Connecting with something bigger than ourselves gives us a sense of groundedness and purpose. Your child may appreciate the clean air we breathe or sense of peace and love they have during a dinnertime prayer. With a bit of effort, hopefully, yesvember can keep it that way.

Kingdom Christmas is ready for YESVEMBER!
Be nice to each other because it really does make a difference. Probably because children need limits — so it is something we often need to say. What is behind this behavior? Soon, he asked for us to find the 9 crabs. Subscribe if you love Nickelodeon and want to see more! Between the move and the pregnancy, I put on over. My husband and I talked, we found objects, our son was engaged and connected. I lacked energy and had a hard time doing anything with my four children.
