Treat Yo-Self Healthy

    April 17 - 23  ♡   Matthew 18 & Luke 10 " W h a t  S h a l l  I  D o  t o  I n h e r i t  E t e r n a l  L i f e " I should always forgive others "Write 'I forgive you' on the board, and tell the children that these words can help them turn sad moments into happy ones. Draw a sad face on the board, and share some examples of children forgiving one another. After each example, invite a child to change the sad face to a happy one." Jesus taught me to see all people as my neighbors and love them Click here for these super cute "Good Samaritan" handouts!

 Reframing Negative Thoughts Use this worksheet to help you think more realistically and positively!  For example:  Negative Thought- "I am stupid" What evidence or proof do you have that you are "stupid"? If you had to prove to me that you are what you say you are, where is your evidence to support that claim? You may say: "I failed my test", but does that prove to me that you are "stupid"? No!- Failing a test in itself does not indicate a lack of intelligence. Positive Thought- "I am capable of learning" What evidence to you have to support this positive claim?- "I can study. I can try again. I have a brain. I have learned things in the past. etc." In my practice, negative thoughts can always be reframed to be more realistic and positive. This may be difficult to do at first, but with diligent practice, your thought patterns can change over time and improve your mood!

  April 10 - 16  ♡   Matthew 15 - 17, Mark 7 - 9 " T h o u  A r t  T h e  C h r i s t " Jesus Christ gives prophets and apostles priesthood keys to lead His church I used a variety of different keys to attach examples of blessings that priesthood keys "unlock". As the children take turns picking a key, teach & discuss the associated blessings! I created these key handouts for the kids to take home and put in their scriptures! They can be attached to any treat if desired. I also think it would be cute attach these to some "real" keys (that don't go to anything), and give it to the kids to take home!

You've Been Gnomed! One day, my sister-in-law and her family thought it would be funny to "gnome" us. They printed out a bunch of small gnome images and taped them onto some popsicle sticks. They then surprised us by scattering them all over our front yard! Keric and I thought it was so fun. It definitely put a smile on are face.  I decided to make it a spring spinoff of the game "You've been BOOed" that happens during Halloween!  I wrote this silly poem to go along with the silliness of the gnomes. We are going to re-use the gnome sticks and scatter them in one of our neighbor's yards, along with these papers & some treats to place on their doorstep.
