Hoe doe je deze activiteit
When you're holding your child, take a moment to notice something pleasant happening around you. Say out loud what you appreciate. You might say, 'I love hearing the birds sing' or 'This sunshine feels so nice on our faces.' Your calm, appreciative tone helps your child associate pleasant experiences with positive emotions.
Waarom het werkt
Creating an appreciative atmosphere through your verbal expressions helps establish early patterns of noticing positive experiences. Adults who practice gratitude regularly show significantly greater life satisfaction and reduced stress (Emmons & McCullough, 2003). Your modeling now plants seeds for your child's developing capacity to appreciate their environment and experiences.
Tips voor ouders
Point to what you're appreciating if your child can see it. This helps connect your words to the experience.
Use this during walks, window time, or outdoor play. Even brief moments of shared appreciation count.
