“He’s always so upbeat. Such a happy kid,” one of my grandson’s high school teachers remarked to me.
This made me realize that we are building attitudes at home. It’s too easy to be grumpy at home, to air our gripes and disappointments rather than looking for the sunshine. In our multigenerational home, with its many personalities, it’s sometimes difficult for all of us to be upbeat all the time.

However, it’s up to us adults to set the tone of the home and help youngsters build their attitudes…hopefully positive and problem solving ones.
- Do the youngsters in your home see you as an overcomer or as someone who lets life get you down?
- Do you find solutions to challenges or simply sit down and worry?
- Do you want your children to follow your example?
What do you do to affect your children’s attitudes in the home and in life?
