In this month of new life, we're spotlighting the virtues that bring new life to the future: hope, joy, imagination, and wonder! We've got great suggestions to help keep hopes high for our parents, teachers, and kids. | |
Psychologist Dan Tomasulo employs the insights of positive psychology to explain what hope is, what it isn't (cheerful optimism), and how we can cultivate hopefulness to dramatically enhance the quality of our lives. Hopeful individuals see possibilities, notice beauty, benefits, and blessings, focus on strengths, cherish relationships, and create challenging goals. They have more energy and higher levels of happiness. When dark times come, "high hope" individuals seek the possibilities. Dr. Tomasulo shows you how. | |
Kathryn Goetzke and colleagues at HopefulMinds.org have developed a K-12 curriculum to help students see hope on the horizon. While stories have the power to lift minds and spirits, the Hopeful Minds curriculum offers numerous additional exercises and downloadable resources to combat current challenges of childhood anxiety and depression. | |
