8 Tips: Optimism for Kids

Optimism is thinking about the best outcome in any situation and thinking that you CAN do something.


Being optimistic means that you focus on the good things in life, and don't dwell on the bad things. Having a positive attitude is a choice. Certain things can happen that can make us feel unhappy, but we can choose if we are going to focus on those negative things and let them change our mood. Having a positive attitude helps to achieve goals and feel happy.


Tips for staying optimistic and positive:

1. Smile and laugh a lot. Tell someone a funny joke or ask someone to tell you a joke.

2. If you feel like you have a lot of things to finish, write down a list. It will make it easier to get everything done.

3. Take time to help others.

4. Take care of yourself. Make sure to eat healthy foods and get plenty of sleep.

5. If you are doing something that is hard, take your time. You can do it! Remember practice makes perfect.

6. Be friendly to others and they will want to be your friend too.

7. Think about all the things you are grateful for.

8. Practice your favorite yoga pose.
