Daily reflections of gratitude can benefit kids’ lives in many ways, including positive thinking, happiness, empathy and kindness, and stronger relationships with family and friends.

Here are some ways you can help kids reflect on gratitude everyday:

-Every morning, supper time, or bedtime, ask them “what are three good things that happened today?”

-Write “thank you” notes or artwork to specific people and discuss how to give them out

-Get and use a gratitude journal or art book

-With your kids, share your specific appreciations for your kids, family members, or other people

-Share this infographic with your kids *from an unknown/uncredited source). Ask them to pick out the things they are grateful for each day. Ask them to draw other things they’re grateful for.

From his research on thousands of couples across several decades, John Gottman found that 4 communication patterns most often predict relationship breakdown. He called them the 4 Horsemen. This infographic describes each pattern and their antidotes . We all have done these from time to time. But, awareness of our own patterns and how they are affecting our relationships, along with the motivation to practice the antidotes, can have a positive impact on our relationships.

Men’s mental health often goes overlooked but is equally important to their physical health.

Men, here are some things you can do to take care of your mental health:

-Be aware of and accept your feelings
-Talk about your feelings, concerns, and things that are stressing you out
-Take time off of work, if needed, to deal with your mental health
-Practice a good sleep routine
-Exercise regularly
-Connect with others
