Dec. 3, 2021 – Gratitude isn’t just a crucial life skill, it can also create a supportive environment. Studies show that when a person receives thanks, they feel more socially valued. During this holiday season, take some time to talk with your child about gratitude, and do activities as a family that foster this skill. Write letters of gratitude to loved ones, create slideshows of things you’re thankful for, or cozy up with these movies and TV shows that inspire us to be thankful for the good things in our lives.
This week’s tip comes from Connected Schools at Common Sense – the leading nonprofit organization dedicated to helping all kids thrive in a world of media and technology.
