A 10-page workbook with an illustrated story that helps children notice and appreciate the good things in their lives, big or small, and see that gratitude is about what you notice, not what you have.
Many children, and adults, notice what went wrong far more easily than what went right. This workbook teaches children that gratitude is not just saying thank you. It is noticing and appreciating the good things in life, and it changes how we see what we already have.

WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL DO

• Read an illustrated story, “The Ordinary Tuesday”, about Noah, who always notices what went wrong, then starts writing down three good things a day and slowly sees his world differently

• Write their own definition of gratitude before they see ours

• Learn where gratitude shows up in the body: a warm, open feeling in the chest, feeling calm and content, noticing things more clearly and feeling lighter

• Build a 10-word emotional vocabulary and add a word of their own

• Sort helpful habits from unhelpful ones. Writing down three good things a day, saying thank you and meaning it, and noticing small kindnesses help. Pretending everything is perfect, comparing yourself to others and never saying thank you out loud don’t

• Decide what they would do in a real scenario: a classmate helped them catch up on homework after they were ill, and they want to show they are grateful

• Reflect on four of their own gratitude experiences

• Finish with a “Letter to Future Me” page: three things they are thankful for, a gratitude reflection and a message to their future self
