Gratitude Journal

Making sure that your children are showing emotions and are properly expressing the way they feel is something that is very important to do as parents. It is necessary that you take the time to explain to your children all about emotions and how to properly cope with however they are feeling. This can be a very great way to teach them that their emotions are all valid and that they have the right to feel the way that they are feeling. If you as a parent are having a difficult time teaching this to your children, then maybe you can have them write down their feelings and emotions on a journal. Having a journal can be a great way for them to learn more about writing down their feelings whenever they do not want to talk about it with any one else. You can also have them practice being grateful and write down all of the things that you as a family are grateful to have. This can show your children how blessed you really are and it can also be a great way for them to start appreciating everything even more. Taking a small portion of your day to do this can be very beneficial to your family.
