Gratitude resources and information

For those of you who have attended our Positive Education parent workshops, you will know that Gratitude is a big part of what we talk about. Showing gratitude and behaving in a grateful way important lessons for young people to learn, and is something that teachers at RNPS have been working hard to instil in our students. There are many ways that you can encourage an 'attitude of gratitude' at home. There are some excellent ideas that can be found here - https://www.pbs.org/parents/learn-grow/age-5/character/gratitude 

We'd love to hear some of the ways you express gratitude at home!
