Someone trying to encourage her teenage daughter to use the gratitude journal, was concerned that the teenage would not want to try it. As we talked, I became aware that the teenage daughter enjoyed helping her mother with her younger child.
Bingo, her teenage daughter spends quiet time each night with her sibling. The teenager facilitates the conversation about things they BOTH were grateful for, and also what each of them did that day that was a kind act. They write in the journal together.
The mom told me that she has seen a remarkable difference in her teenager. She now looks for ways to be kind; and she loves being the guiding factor for her little sister's efforts.
Nice, don't you think??
