1 ITS A WONDERFUL WORLD When you sit
down to dinner, start the conversation by talking
about something that youre grateful for. It could be
something that happened that day or more general.
Then give every family member a turn to say what
he or she is grateful for that day. If you cant eat
together, ask the question while youre in the car
or at bedtime, encouraging your child to reflect on
the positive parts of their day.

2 LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE In any situation,
