Virtue Focus: Shifting Your Outlook

When a child develops the ability to shift their outlook, they begin to see the positive more readily. They start to see beyond themselves to develop a broader sense of how their actions affect others around them. They’ll be able to embrace change more readily as they age. 

Tips for training your child to be able to Shift Their Outlook:

  • When presented with a choice, model for your child how to analyze the pros and cons of either decision. Emphasize the positive aspects.
  • When working on a project or cooking with your child, give them agency to do something a different way. Point out how that shift affected the outcome.
  • Read a book together that portrays the main character developing the ability to Shift Their Outlook, like this book:
