“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust

​In November we like to take time to cultivate healthy gratitude practices here at ACG. Research shows that practicing gratitude at a young age can improve emotional intelligence, sleep, and self-esteem, increase positive mental health, form healthier relationships, and even boost the immune system! For tips on how to develop a healthy gratitude practice in your family as well as other gratitude activities, check out our blog from last year: Cultivating Gratitude in Early Childhood. That blog also has some super fun pumpkin activities and recipes!

Check out how we incorporated gratitude as well as peace, unity, and celebrating diversity into our learning this month below!
