This 5 minute daily gratitude journal is a brilliant way to encourage children to practice gratitude, mindfulness and positive thinking - by incorporating it into their daily routine!
This would be a great activity to do at bedtime and shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes - making it something that is manageable to do every day.
Each day has a new sheet to fill in with...
While there is a good amount of space to write and draw in each day, your child can use as much or as little of the space as they like.
As each page has a blank date, there is no pressure to write in it every day, but when they can fit it into their routine.
Not only is it a great notebook to look back on and remember what positive things have happened on a given day, it's also a great way to log and take notice of the little things, that we so often forget about.
Going to bed for the day with positive thoughts in our mind, is a great way to complete the day.
Learning this habit early on in life, can help children manage their feelings later on, to feel more grateful for what they have and to practice self-reflection.
Whether you want to get this for your own child, students, or relatives - it would make a thoughtful gift!
