A glimmer is a small, positive moment or experience that brings joy and light into someone's day.

It could be anything from a kind word, a personal achievement, a moment of fun, or even a beautiful sight. Glimmers are often subtle and happen in everyday life.

Recognising and appreciating glimmers can significantly boost emotional well-being and resilience, helping you maintain a positive outlook and cope better with challenges.

Here are a few simple ways to help your child spot glimmers:

1. Model Positivity: Share your small joys with your child to show how to appreciate life’s simple pleasures.

2. Encourage Mindfulness: Teach your child to notice and enjoy the small, positive details in their day.

3. Create Family Rituals: Establish regular practices, like sharing highlights of the day, to focus on positive experiences.

4. Celebrate Achievements: Recognize and cheer for your child's small successes and joyful moments.

5. Encourage Reflection: Ask your child about what made them happy each day to help them recognise these moments.

So, watch for those little glimmers of happiness—they can make every day a bit brighter!
