The character trait for the month of April is Positive Attitude. Positive Attitude is a mental thought process of focusing on the bright side of life or finding the good in everything and everyone.
The way we think about ourselves, situations, upcoming events, etc. can affect the outcomes, our experiences, and the way we handle life. Having a positive attitude means that you approach life with confidence and optimism.
Talk with your family about different situations in which positive attitudes could make a different!
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” ~Winston Churchill
