Cultivating Connection at home doesn’t have to be hard. It can be as simple as practicing Gratitude. Brené Brown says “Gratitude is the pathway to JOY.” And I have found this to be true in my life – as a grown up, and with my children. You must pass through thankfulness to get to joy
✨ it’s not hard. It doesn’t take that much time. It does take some showing up. Some doing it. Some practice. Cultivating that AS A FAMILY. TOGETHER. Is shared joy. It’s Magic ✨
Use a Gratitude Jar – and add:
❤️ Gratitude Blurbs (printable found here)
❤️ popsicle sticks
❤️ post it notes
❤️ Gratitude Hearts (printable found here)
— Set the Gratitude Jar where everyone can see it and knows where it is and
— Everyone knows what it’s there for
— Sit TOGETHER and write or draw a gratitude
— Share them (or add them to the jar to be shared during dinner, bathtime, or bedtime)
— Don’t forget to revisit ALL the gratitude deliciousness later – during a holiday or special occasion, pull out several slips and Share them as reminders of all that is magic ✨ in your family. ?
