Preparing for Thanksgiving as a Family
Thanksgiving is almost here, and it’s the perfect time to slow down and focus on what we’re truly grateful for. As parents, this holiday gives us a great opportunity to teach our kids about family, gratitude, and community.
Here are a few fun ways to get your kids involved in the Thanksgiving spirit:
Family Gratitude List: Sit down as a family and create a gratitude list. Have each person share a few things they’re thankful for—no matter how small. You’ll be surprised how this simple activity can shift the focus to the things that really matter.
Helping Hands: Whether it’s setting the table or making a small dish, let your kids take part in the Thanksgiving preparations. Giving them a role shows them that being part of the family means contributing.
Thank You Notes: Encourage your kids to write thank-you notes to family members or friends. It’s a great way to teach them how to express gratitude, even for the little things.
Thanksgiving isn’t just about the food—it’s about creating memories, showing appreciation, and coming together as a family. Let’s make it a season full of meaning!
