Father’s Day Appreciation Booklet

“Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.”

Henry Ward Beecher

FATHER’S DAY HELP IS HERE

Confession, I am an overwhelmed mom. l struggle to keep all my list of things to do completed, and am often dropping the ball in one way or the other. I feel guilty about this ALOT and just hope that my kid will remember that I loved him and not that I fell asleep on the couch in the middle of one of his delightfully long stories.

My son is a little older now, and I am finding more space in my days which I am filling with trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. My career has been a journey of ebbs and flows, from book publishing art director to freelance graphic designer + stay at home mom and now children’s book author! I am also the family travel agent + laundry lady + queen of the dishwasher AANNNDD family accountant! I wear many hats in my life, and I am grateful for them all.

Because I know I am not alone in this I designed a Father’s Day card that mom’s can download for free, and kids can fill out, color and gift with breakfast in bed to all the wonderful dads out there.

GRATIDUDE

This printable is all about gratitude and appreciation. Kids can sit and think about the things that they love and appreciate about dad, and deepen these feelings with themselves. Encouraging kids to share gratitude can have a profound impact on their mental well-being and become a mindfulness practice that becomes a habit.

When children express thankfulness and appreciation, it shifts their focus from negativity to positivity, promoting feelings of happiness and contentment. This is a practice that not only enhances their internal emotional health, but also fosters a mindset of abundance and mindfulness, enabling them to navigate challenges with a more positive attitude. Sharing gratitude can be a powerful tool for nurturing healthy minds and hearts in children.
