What You Get: 30 individually designed cards presented in a beautiful lidded box.

The cards are split across the following 5 categories:

Mindfulness - Mindfulness is learning to be fully present in the moment. This can be difficult for children, but by using these simple techniques they can learn to focus their minds on the current task and block out distractions. Calming and clearing the mind can encourage better concentration, divert tantrums, ease tensions and improve sleep.

Gratitude - Gratitude exercises can transform our negative thoughts into positive awareness of what we are thankful for in our lives. Benefits of practicing gratitude can include improved self-esteem and mental health, better sleep, and improved supportive relationships with others, as well as a stronger development of empathy, optimism, and good manners.

Kindness - We can all appreciate how important kindness is. Kindness triggers the same physiological responses that are associated with happiness. Teaching your child the importance of kindness at an early age can lead to improved self-esteem, a greater sense of calm and reduced anxiety.

Repeat after me - Teaching children to practice positive thinking helps to shape their beliefs from a young age. Saying a statement out loud will encourage your child to create a more positive mindset and healthy belief system. Teaching your child to be kind to themselves builds a healthy foundation as they grow through life.

Today I am - Experiencing emotions can often be difficult for children when they don't have the appropriate words to express what they are feeling. This can lead to difficult behavior. Encourage your child to talk about what they are feeling and let them choose the appropriate emotion card to attach to that feeling. Discuss what actions they can take to resolve it in a positive way and what they might be able to do next time this occurs.
