TIP - ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

To encourage children to notice the positive things in life, ask them to say three positive things about their day before saying something negative.

This works great for the whole family. Instead of coming home complaining of every little thing that went wrong that day, they will come home sharing all the good news.

This will teach them to concentrate on the positives and forget about the silly negatives. This daily ritual could also be a fun way to begin dinner conversation each evening.
