A Mini Surprise - RUPS lunch time yoga registration package

Have you had a chance to take a peek at the Lunch time Yoga registration package?  If you have, did you find a mini intention stick with a smiley face.  Ask your child if they remember the "Happy stick," from the Yoga assembly and how they would use them?

However, if your kids are similar to mine and gave you a brief description of what they are, then no worries, I have got you covered.

The "Happy stick" is intended to instill the value of gratefulness in our children.  Research shows that people who make time to practice gratitude on an ongoing basis end up feeling an innate sense of happiness:)

So why wait till Thanksgiving, why not make every day a day to express our gratitude!

Recommended Use:  Take a moment with your child and while they are holding the Happy stick remind them to smile and share 2-3 things that they feel thankful/grateful for.   Once they are done sharing feel free to model the same by holding the stick and sharing 2-3 things you may be grateful for.  See if you can make this a family tradition and incorporate this gratitude practice in your weekly if not daily routine.

Encourage your kids to think of not just the material gifts but also the intangible gifts they may have such as health, safety, family support etc which make our daily experiences special.

I would love to hear any other ideas you may have on practicing gratitude with kids.  Do you and your family have your own special tradition, please comment below and share.
