Whether you\u2019re giving or receiving gifts, we all can agree that gifts are a fun way to show others in our lives that we appreciate them. We all have gotten gifts in the past that are well-intended, but are not something that will be our next favorite thing. Your preschoolers may or may not know how to respond when someone gives them a gift that they don\u2019t exactly fancy. A situation like that may arise this holiday season, but don\u2019t fear! Learn more about teaching your preschooler to appreciate gifts now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please and Thank-you\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you haven\u2019t taught your child basic manners already, then this is the perfect time of the year to do so! Teach your child how to say please and thank-you throughout your everyday routine. For example, make your child say please when they want more milk or juice. After you pour the glass, remind them to say thank-you. Simple tasks like this will get your little one in the habit of saying please and thank-you when someone does a favor for them or gives them a gift. It\u2019s good to start with the basics!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank-you cards<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A fun way to incorporate thankfulness is to keep track of what gifts your child was given and who are they from. Make cute creative thank-you cards with your preschooler! Your preschooler will start to understand the importance behind letting someone know that you appreciate their gifts and kindness. This will be a fun activity for you and your child rather than a chore. There\u2019s also a good chance that grandma might call you about the thank-you card and tell you how happy it made her. This will make your preschooler pretty happy too!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Role-playing\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have a Christmas party coming up with your child, then carve out some time to do some role-playing. This activity will give you a chance to show your child how to properly thank someone after receiving a gift. It would be a great idea to practice with your child\u2019s favorite toys and maybe items that they aren\u2019t too sure about. Teach your children proper manners on receiving gifts they love and gifts they aren\u2019t crazy about.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Manners and appreciation go a long way!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/highland-glen-pearland\/2019\/10\/29\/what-to-say-when-your-child-says-i-cant\/\">What to Say When Your Child Says, &#8220;I Can&#8217;t&#8221; \u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidsrkidspearland.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Highland Glen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Pearland, Texas?
