FIVE RITUALS FOR A POSITIVE MORNING ROUTINE
As we resume school for Term 2, it's a great time to re-set our before school routine conversations and to cultivate some optimism and positivity for the day ahead. Every morning can be an opportunity to wire your child's brain for gratitude, enthusiasm and a growth mindset.
Here are a few ideas for conversations during breakfast, while driving to school, doing their hair or preparing their lunch with them before school:
* EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT THEIR ROSE-THORN-BUD:
Rose: something that is going well for you
Thorn: something that isn’t going well or is worrying you
Bud: something you feel grateful for
* EVERYONE ANSWERS A GOOD MORNING QUESTION:
"What are you most excited about today?"
"What is one intention you have for today?"
* EVERYONE DESCRIBES HOW THEY'RE FEELING:
"Right now I'm feeling...
Today I want to feel..."
(use a feeling word, type of weather, or colour)
* EVERYONE SAYS A POSITIVE AFFIRMATION :
It’s okay to make mistakes.
I can achieve anything with hard work and effort.
I love and accept myself just as I am.
*EVERYONE SAYS THANKS TO OR COMPLIMENTS SOMEONE:
"I want to thank you, Mum, for helping me with my reading last night."
"Thank you for pouring juice for your sister."
"I want to compliment you on your effort in your basketball game on Saturday."
