Power Parent

A GRPS Magazine | November 2020

November 1, 2020

Gratitude and Mindfulness

The GRPS Family and Community Engagement office recognizes that our district’s families are going through moments of extreme stress during this pandemic. Basic needs are of top concern for many families, and we understand that encouraging a shift in mindset is not a sufficient answer to these very heavy, very real concerns. However, since attending to your mental health and that of your family is a priority during this time, this month’s edition of Power Parent Magazine aims to connect GRPS families with mindfulness and gratitude resources to help you cope with the stress of daily life.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, November is a great month to start getting intentional about practicing gratitude in your family. Check out this issue of Power Parent to learn more!
