November 2, 2020 By Lisa Mullen Leave a Comment

Raising kids with grateful hearts is one of my greatest goals as a parent, and one of the ways I can foster that is through gratitude prompts for kids. Over the next few weeks, use these gratitude prompts with your kids to teach (and model) thankfulness.

Raising kids with grateful hearts is one of my greatest goals as a parent. For many reasons.

Gratitude…

  • Helps prevent a spirit of entitlement
  • Improves physical and psychological health
  • Increases joy and happiness
  • Leads us to be kinder, more empathetic people
  • Prompts us to serve and bless others
  • Strengthens our resiliency
  • Reduces feelings of envy, jealousy, and comparison
  • Improves and deepens our relationships
  • Enhances self-esteem
  • Helps us see and appreciate God’s blessings

For all those reasons and more, I’m trying to be intentional about fostering gratitude in my kids’ hearts.

One of the ways I can do that is through gratitude prompts — questions designed to get my kids thinking about things in their life for which they can be thankful. To recognize the lovely things around them and appreciate the beauty in their lives.

Is that something you would like to do, too? Over the next few weeks, use these gratitude prompts with your kids to teach (and model) thankfulness.
