\"Giving<\/figure>

One of the biggest traditions at Thanksgiving is to say what you\u2019re thankful for. Don\u2019t exclude your preschool in this activity! The sooner you teach your child about thankfulness, the better!<\/span><\/p>\n

Start Simple<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ask your preschooler what they are thankful for. What do they say? Use their answers as a springboard into your lesson on gratitude and the bigger picture. Are they thankful for toys? Tell them about other little girls and boys that might not have any toys at all and how important it is to share. Are they thankful for their house? Remind them how special it is to have their own room or their own bed. If they say, \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d use it as an opportunity to point out all the great things they have. At the end of the day, you want to remind them of the things they might not realize are sacred to others, such as freedom, school, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expressing their Thanks<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once your child knows what they are thankful for, teach them how to express their appreciation. From simple things like saying \u201cthank you\u201d to others to being kind and always sharing what they have, your preschooler can show their gratitude every day. Talk to your child about treating their things nicely because of their thankfulness\u2014being thankful means knowing the value in what they have and treating those things well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Giving Back<\/span><\/h3>\n

Your little one may respond emotionally to their newfound gratitude, like by being sad for others who are less fortunate. Teach them that they can put their love for others into positive actions like donating time, toys, clothes, or canned goods to food pantries, homeless shelters, or other charitable organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter what, everyone has something to be thankful for. <\/span>Teaching your child about gratitude<\/span><\/a> isn\u2019t about counting how many possessions they have or comparing their lives to others. It\u2019s about acknowledging how fortunate they are and expressing their gratitude to others. This, in turn, leads to sharing with others.<\/span><\/p>\n
