    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.

    Thanks!

    I learned that:

    Kids with a strong sense of self-efficacy are:

    better problem solvers
    less likely to become helpless
    more resilient

    I really like the Silver Lining game. It's really tough to help kids understand that not everything is going to work out the way they want. These activities are great ways to turn something negative into a positive!

    I really found this information valuable:

    Emotional Awareness:

    contributes to resilience
    is critical in forming healthy relationships
    is critical in goal attainment
    is necessary for overall mental health

    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.

    The Storybook Maker is REALLY cool! I wish my boys were just a little bit older so I could be a Fishful Thinking ambassador too!

    I 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!

    Seems to me that a reminder of those "5 ingredients" are helpful to us adults too!

    I 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.

    Thank you for sharing such a wonderful site!

    Have a lovely week!
