Making Grateful KidsI’ve just signed up for a free teleconference you might also enjoy, with the authors of “Making Grateful Kids: The Science of Building Character.” It’s being conducted by Ben Dean, founder and CEO of MentorCoach, tomorrow, 2 May 2014, from 13h00 to 14h20 Eastern Time (start time in South Africa: 19h00) — so sign up now.

Here’s a little info about the book, also from MentorCoach: “If there were a wonder drug on the market that got kids to behave better, improve their grades, feel happier and avoid risky behaviors, parents around the world would likely be willing to empty their bank accounts to acquire it.

“Such a miraculous cure already exists. It’s not regulated by the FDA, it has no ill side-effects, it’s absolutely free and it’s available to anyone at any time. It’s called Gratitude.”

Gratitude is on of the 24 VIA character strengths and a huge focus of my Flourishing School programme, so I can’t wait to hear what authors Jeffery Froh and Giacomo Bono, both PhDs, have to share.

(By the way, if you can’t attend the call live, you can still receive a recording if you sign up.)
