Fishful Thinking is a program that gives parents the tools they need to raise a more optimistic child ready to face life's challenges. There are many activities to do with your children to help the achieve their goals. Here are a few:

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to do the Grateful Sayings activity at dinner tonight. I have a teen and even though we eat dinner together every night, there are so many ways that Fishful Thinking's site can help us to communicate better.

My little guy is still a little too young for the Fishful Thinking, but it was definitely nice for me to read the Empowering Article "How To Be a Happier Mom". One of my favorite activities that I can't wait to try with my little guy is Shake Off the Frustration Dance.
ReplyDeleteThe Storybook Maker is REALLY cool! I wish my boys were just a little bit older so I could be a Fishful Thinking ambassador too!
ReplyDeleteI really like the optimism activities--the nature walk, favorite photo, and finding meaning all sound like a lot of fun for our family. I can't wait to try them out!
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that a reminder of those "5 ingredients" are helpful to us adults too!
ReplyDeleteI think it was wonderful little site. I loved reading about Goal setting. Activity Goal Road Map (One Step at a Time) I'm going to do this with my son. I think this would be a great activity for us.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a wonderful site!
Have a lovely week!
As my 2 yo ages, I look forward to developing her emotional awareness more...it looks like this will be a good resource too.
