An attitude of gratitude Around Thanksgiving, people often talk about what they re thankful for. These activities can inspire your youngster to express gratitude now and all year long. On the calendar. Brainstorm categories of things to be grateful for, such as people and nature. On a calendar, list one category per day for a week. Then each day, have family members name something they re grateful for in that category (a healthy grandparent, a beautiful fall day). Behind the gift. When your child receives a gift, ask him to think about what the giver put into it. For instance, if his aunt sends him a sweater that he doesn t like, he might say it was nice that she took the time to find out what style is popular with kids his age.

Encourage him to be a good school citizen with these ideas. Follow rules Have your youngster name school rules, and discuss what would happen if they didn t exist. What if no one had assigned seats? (People might waste time deciding where to sit.) What if students could run in the hallways? (They might get hurt.) He ll see why it s important to follow the rules just like people must obey laws. Be considerate Part of good citizenship is treating others the way you want to be treated. Ask your child to share examples of considerate things he did today. Maybe he got off a playground swing so another student could have a turn. Or perhaps he waited quietly before speaking up in a group and listened to others without interrupting. Do your part Every school citizen has an important role to play, and helping teachers and classmates is a part of that role. Suggest that your youngster draw himself doing classroom jobs like feeding the class guinea pig or delivering papers to the office.
