Teaching children Gratitude…my 10 year old daughter writes!

The other day my 10 year old daughter handed us a letter. She typed a letter on gratitude. The letter made me smile and laugh at the same time. After reading I realized that she has grasped all of our teachings on being grateful. I would like to share this letter with you. Because just when we as parents think they are not learning, that could be far from the truth.

This is what the letter said:”THANKS! Mom and Dad thank you for all you do for us. We thank God for parents like you guys, well at least I do. I never really realized how blessed we are to have a mom and dad that are still together for 17 years, great ones too. And dad thank you for going to work every day, if it were not for you we would be living on the streets by now and mom thank you for working your business online, that fat sucking thing. And also, I never realized how blessed we are to eat food and drink clean water and have a nice warm home to sleep in. I know this Christmas has been different for us, so I made this card just for you guys, so Merry Christmas!

I often find myself teaching the same lessons over and over again. I believe that is no longer the case with my daughter. Especially with this particular lesson. She can now teach someone else on gratitude. I would like to encourage parents who feel like lessons to their children are in vain, to keep on teaching because eventually they will grasp it and when they do you will know it. Until the next time.
To Your Success,
