8 Mindful Tips for Teaching Children Gratitude

Gratitude is a practice. It results in positive thinking. In a difficult time and world, the one true factor that can make the most impact is exercising gratitude. It is complex, yet very simple. The cause of resentment and poor behavior is a direct result of feeling undervalued, not worthy, not heard, and not cared about. When we focus on the things in which we do value and are the most grateful for, we can change resentment into gratitude and love. Recognizing and expressing gratitude towards children can change everything. Expressing gratitude is a simple answer to a complex problem. We need to stop thinking about gratitude as emotion and begin to live it as an action. Living your life as an expression of gratitude is the greatest give you can give a child and yourself.

51: How Teachers Survive Halloween!

Halloween is one of the major celebrations that kids love! I mean what kid doesn’t love candy and to dress up as their favorite character or person?!

But man can it be rough on the teacher! I recently posed a question in a few Facebook groups I am in for elementary school teachers. I asked them how they survive Halloween. The results were pretty funny and some were quite brilliant! I hope you will take a listen.

7 Excellent Thanksgiving Books That Every Kid Will Love

Fall is in the air! Well, actually not here in Florida. Fall doesn't come until the end of December. LOL

What I do love here in my home state is that we get the entire week off at Thanksgiving. When I first started teaching, we only got 4 days off. It was so hard to get everything done! {Cry me a river, right?!}

So here we are for fall. And this week I am trying to give you some Thanksgiving ideas well in advance. So I hope you will join me.
