Help children to become more positive through reading and conversing on the topic. One of my favorite things to do when I was in the classroom was to have the kids close their eyes and think about a beautiful thought. It can be anything that makes them feel good. Finding a place of beauty often helps us to feel more positive. Kids can keep the thought private or share out. Try it now yourself. Close your eyes and think of a beautiful thought.

Oh, I meant to also say that my sister-in-law bought my kids Incredible You! That is a really fantastic book. I think that this kind of message really gets internalized so it is a really great idea to read these types of books with your children. Thanks also for sharing your post in the Kid Lit Blog Hop.
