Next week we will celebrate Thanksgiving. For many families aside from enjoying time with family and eating delicious foods, it is also a season to promote thankfulness and gratitude. Teaching children to be grateful is a gift that will keep on giving throughout their lifetime. I believe it would be great if families engaged in activities that encouraged them to be grateful on a daily basis. Therefore, in this blog post I have included 8 activities parents can do with their child(ren) to teach them about gratitude. I challenge you to go beyond the Thanksgiving holiday and think of more creative ways to be thankful or express gratitude. I can guarantee you that if you can figure out how to raise grateful or thankful children you will not be disappointed and your life and their life will be more enriched.
