One of the greatest joys in life is receiving a thank you note, especially when it was written or made especially for you by a child. There’s just something truly special about a child who is grateful and who takes the time and makes the effort to create and send a note of thanks. As loving parents, we strive to model thankfulness and to teach our children the importance of expressing their gratitude to others.
Asking your child to write a thank you note may seem like another homework assignment to them and yes, they may whine and stall or tell you they don’t know how. But thank you notes don’t have to be a lesson in penmanship. Encourage your kids to be creative and think of it as art.
