Family, Gratitude, And Thanksgiving Turkey – Use This Holiday Time To Teach Your Child How To Be More Thankful For All The Good Things In Their Life
Hey everyone.
Just a quick post to wish you “happy holidays” as we approach Thanksgiving here in the states.
And, if you’re not in the states …
I hope you have a Happy Thursday. 🙂
Wherever you are, my wishes are for you to be able to spend some good quality time with family and friends …
and to be thankful for what you have.
One thing I’ve learned is that it’s always a good thing to take a step back and just be grateful, even if you don’t officially celebrate Thanksgiving.
It’s easy in these times to get so busy that you can forget how much abundance you already have in your life.
Thanksgiving is a great holiday for your child to practice gratitude.
Actually every day is a good day to practice but there’s just something about the name itself, “Thanks giving”, and the tradition of giving thanks that really make this a great time of year to help your kids learn about gratitude.
Brenda Nixon, a nationally recognized child behavior expert, speaker, and author, says training should start at a young age.
“Because children are egocentric and self-absorbed, they don’t begin to feel gratitude or understand the idea until the preschool years,” she said. “Even then, it’s a small understanding. But the feelings grow as do the children. Hopefully, if parents model gratitude, kids will absorb their attitude and begin practicing thankful behaviors, too.”
I would like to share with you something special for this season of gratitude …an info graphic from the good people over at Mindvalley.com
This is a very powerful image showing you how gratitude can transform your life …along with an activity that can help your child learn to be more thankful.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Did you see the great activity that can help make gratitude a daily habit for your child?
Each night, as he puts his 6-year-old son to sleep, Vishen asks him to “Tell me your happiest moment for today.”
Remember that, according to the Law of Attraction, the more you express gratitude in your life, the more abundance you’ll receive.
So I just want to say “Thank You” to Vishen Lakhiani and the rest of the team at Mindvalley for sharing this image with us.
Also, a big “Thank You” to you for stopping by and checking out our blog, and wherever in the world you are, I hope you have a great day.
All the best!
