Giving Thanks
Although the Thanksgiving season seems to push our consciousness of thankfulness into over drive, instilling an attitude of gratitude in our children is something that we should aim to practice year round.
But as we face the beginning of the hectic holiday season, how can you keep the river of thankfulness flowing in the hearts and minds of our children?
Thank people for services well done. Tip service providers- and tell your children why. Write thank you notes when you receive a gift. Pray for other people. Be charitable. Talk about the needs of others and how as a family you can help.
Try going a day without TV, video games, or dessert. Give your child an experience of going without a nonessential and share how others have to go without many of life's essentials.
- Give back to the community.
Collect food for the local food pantry. Purchase a Christmas toy for Toys for Tots. Donate gently used clothes and toys to a homeless shelter.
Talk about (and find ways to help) those who have less. Family, shelter, health, and friends are important everyday. Remind your children that some people don't have family, a home of their own or their health- and that they are blessed to have what they do have.
When kids are given responsibility to care for their belongings, earn money (rather than getting it from bribes) and to help out around the house, they develop a deeper appreciation for what they have.
Whether it be a blessing at dinner, a prayer before bed, a family journal or a game where everyone takes turns sharing, make it a point to give thanks for what you have as a family.
- Have a thankful attitude.
Even when things seem rough- there are always things to be thankful for. Teach your children to always find the silver lining in the clouds of life.
When children are taught to be thankful, they grow up with an attitude of appreciation, a grateful heart and helpful spirit, ready and willing to help those who have less.
