As we gather around a table for Thanksgiving, it’s important to teach our children that the holiday is about more than food, more than seeing friends and family, more than a kick-off to the holiday season. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to teach children about getting along with those who may hold different values and beliefs as well as the importance of gratitude. Teaching gratitude helps children develop a positive outlook in life, reduces stress and anxiety, fosters stronger relationships, and sets children up to become more resilient adults with a healthier mindset. Some research even suggests that being grateful can lengthen your lifespan.
