  1. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to do the Grateful Sayings activity at dinner tonight. I have a teen and even though we eat dinner together every night, there are so many ways that Fishful Thinking's site can help us to communicate better.

    Thanks!

  13. I really like the Silver Lining game. It's really tough to help kids understand that not everything is going to work out the way they want. These activities are great ways to turn something negative into a positive!

    Emotional Awareness:

    is critical in forming healthy relationships
    is critical in goal attainment

  16. My little guy is still a little too young for the Fishful Thinking, but it was definitely nice for me to read the Empowering Article "How To Be a Happier Mom". One of my favorite activities that I can't wait to try with my little guy is Shake Off the Frustration Dance.
