Keep a daily journal with things that make you happy and keep you laughing when you remember them. Here are a few ideas to include in the journal:

1. When my puppy kisses me!

2. When my mommy tickles me.

3. When my daddy tucks me in at night

4. When I get to jump up and down on my parents’ bed.

5. When I hear my favorite song.

6. When I swing real high.

7. When I get to help mommy fix dinner.

8. When a worm wiggles in my hand.

9. When I get butterfly kisses from daddy.

10. When my teacher smiles at me.

11. When people tell me why they like me.

12. When I go to a birthday party.

13. When I get to play with my friends.

14. When mommy fixes my favorite food.

15. When I play giggle belly.
