I once worked with a teacher who started every class by inviting each pupil to say something good. Students were challenged to tell a story or name a miracle. This practice formed the students: They got in the habit of noticing what was good in their lives. Before long, they could notice and name how God is active in the world. Maybe the students gradually understood what was impossible: keeping quiet about what’s good.

Thanks. Good and constructive step forward. Instilling a positive mindset in the young is a beautiful way of proceeding.
Thank you — I wrote that idea into my Catechist workbook and will ask my kiddos to do that every time we have a class!
