The motto this week in school is:
I know what I am looking forward to today.
Do you have something you are looking forward to today? This motto seems simple enough, but we may realize that we often don't have an answer when we take a moment to think about it. It's so easy to fall into the habit of merely moving through our day, but we deserve to enjoy our day too!
When we ask students what they enjoy most about the school day, the most popular answers are lunch and recess. If you think about it, that answer is equivalent to the adult version of TGIF. Yes, we look forward to Friday. But what if we also enjoyed Monday? Isn't that something we want for our children?
This week, help your child enjoy more of their day by asking them what they are looking forward to in school today. Remember, the more answers they have, the more likely they will enjoy their day!
After all, our children deserve a great life,
but the only one who can truly give that to them is themselves.
Consider putting a sticky note with the word KNOW on it in your car or somewhere where you will see it each morning before your children leave for school. The sticky note will remind everyone to know what they are looking forward to today. Encouraging your child to have more than one answer to that question is helpful because they have even more to look forward to in their day!
“Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.”
― A. A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
Have a wonderful week,
