COURSE DESCRIPTION
Research shows a strong correlation between your child cultivating a practice of gratitude and their overall happiness. Additionally, nurturing your child’s ability to express gratefulness will not only strengthen their own self-awareness and emotional intelligence, it will build their empathetic skills.
In this flexible, go-at-your-own-pace workshop series, Green Generations’s designed video lessons to increase your child’s emotional wellness by learning about gratefulness and inspiring an acts-of-gratitude practice.
PREVIEW
RESEARCH & EVIDENCE
A 2019 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that gratitude is linked to happiness in children by age 5. This means that instilling gratitude in your kids at a young age could help them grow up to be happier people.
According to a 2008 study published in the Journal of School Psychology, grateful children (ages 11 to 13) tend to be happier, more optimistic, and have better social support. They also report more satisfaction with their schools, families, communities, friends, and themselves. Grateful kids also tend to give more social support to others as well.
