Thanks to Cheryl, I’ve been thinking of fish!
Not THAT kind. THIS kind:
You may have noticed the banner over there on the left-hand side…I’m a Fishful Thinking Ambassador, which means that I’m here to help you and your kids! Okay…not me personally. But I’m here to tell you about this awesome program.
I don’t know about you, but I eat my kids eat Goldfish all the time. And I remember eating them when I was with my Grandma after school, so they always bring back great memories. Well, Pepperidge Farm has created this exciting new program, Fishful Thinking. And knowing the Pepperidge Farm name – and the quality of their food, I was delighted to see that this same quality carries over to their program. A quote directly from them:
The Goldfish® brand cares about kids and wants to help inspire them to become the successes they were born to be. Through the Fishful ThinkingSM program, Goldfish provides parents with tools to help teach their kids how to navigate obstacles, overcome failure and achieve what they want.
Right? Sign.Me.UP.
So far, there is a quiz for you to take to see how resilient your child is, tips for playing emotion charades with your child, and a Spring Cleaning Optimism Article. And there are more things every week! (Don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated.)
Resilience Quiz
How resilient is your child? Find out with this short quiz, developed by Dr. Karen Reivich. Each time you answer a question, you will get a resilience tip from Dr. Reivich, with suggestions for how you can use a situation to help improve your child’s resilience.
Emotion Charades
Build your child’s emotional awareness through this simple, fun activity.
Spring Cleaning Optimism
An article on the mental and physical benefits of Optimism.

Definitely not something fishy there!! 🙂
Full disclosure: As a Fishful Thinking Ambassador, I earn incentives from Pepperidge Farm for my participation. Every time you click one of my links, I get points toward the incentives. However, if you know me at all, you know that I wouldn’t endorse something I didn’t believe in!

Lots of Reminders!
Wow…a lot going on here.
First, a reminder to check out the Spoonfuls of Stories giveaway. You have until Sunday night to enter!
Second, same post…are you yearning to be a children’s book author? Go check it out! There’s a $5000 first prize reward and the chance for a book review by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. (Cool, right??)
Third, the Fishful Thinking $10,000 scholarship giveaway is still going on! All you have to do is create a cute little Fishful Thinking story (with guidance) and then fill out the form. Yep, that’s it!
Fourth, I know you can see the Fishful Thinking links over there on the left-hand side, but I’ve also created a Fishful Thinking page. Right now it’s pretty much the same links, but in all my spare time (ha ha), I plan to add to it. And I’ll be keeping it up-to-date all summer with the new activities that come out weekly. The page lives at the top of my blog…see? Up there where it says “Go Fish!”
Have you been doing the Fishful thinking activites? Do you like the articles? Drop me a line and let me know! I’m dying to hear what you think 🙂
