Another great exercise is to have your child make a list of things that he or she is thankful for. This can be done if your child keeps a journal or as a daily, weekly or monthly activity. {relatedarticles}Getting your children involved in community service is another way to help them realize how lucky they are. Once they realize that toys, sports, nice clothing and other extras are a luxury that not every child is privy to, they will come to be more appreciative of what they have. Of course, nothing teaches children how to express their importance like an old-fashioned "thank you" note. When your child receives a present, always have him write a personalized note thanking the giver. To make the activity fun, encourage your child to give it a personal touch by decorating the note.
