Ask your child: “What’s one thing you’re thankful for today?”
Gratitude helps kids shift focus from what’s hard to what’s hopeful.
Whether it’s a friend, a pet, or their favorite snack — noticing small joys strengthens emotional resilience. 🌻

Check in with your child using this fun 1–5 scale:
🌈 5 – Feeling awesome!
🌤️ 4 – Pretty good
⛅ 3 – Okay
🌧️ 2 – Not so great
⛈️ 1 – Having a tough day
Let them point to their number with a finger or color. It opens the door for honest talks and helps normalize emotions. 💭

Children don’t always say what they feel, but they show it through behavior.
Try saying:

“It seems like you’re feeling frustrated. Do you want to tell me about it?”
When we name emotions without judgment, we help kids build trust — and emotional vocabulary. 💬🦋

Let’s start the week with a pause 🌤️
Encourage your child (and yourself!) to take 3 slow breaths — in through the nose, out through the mouth.
Ask: “What’s one thing you’re looking forward to today?”
Small mindfulness moments help kids begin their week grounded and confident. 💛
