Tip

The holidays are a good time to learn about gratitude with your child. As your child gives and receives gifts, you can talk about acts of kindness and the feelings and or emotions associated with giving and receiving a gift. – TenderHeartedTeacher.com

Activity

Make a gratitude jar with your child. Decorate a jar or box, write down things that both of you are grateful for on small pieces of paper, and put them in the jar. Then, throughout the year, pull out a paper and talk about why you were grateful for that particular thing. You can also add more slips of paper to your jar as you both discover and experience new things!
