Here is an activity from 365 Days of Happy to help boost kids’ happiness

Creating a happiness planner

‘Make a planner for the week and against each day plan in one thing you know will make you happy’

Kids could make this as elaborate as they wanted with all their pens, stickers and glitter, or they may want to be more low key and simply write it in a notebook or journal. The key is that they are taking charge of their happiness.

The affirmations for the week include …

I will fill my day with happiness

 And I can make my self happy

 And the quotes for the week are …

 It is not how much we have but how much we enjoy that makes happiness – Charles Spurgeon

Carpe Diem – seize the day

Remember happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have it depends solely on what you think – Dale Carnegie

Design a life you love to live

How creating a happiness planner helps

Helping kids realise that they can make their own lives happier helps increase their sense of control and their confidence and in turn, that feeling of empowerment helps them feel more robust in challenging times.

365 Days of Happy is out now!
