How to help your kids have an attitude of gratitude can’t be covered in one post … or two. But I’ve put together lots of resources within my post called “How to Help Your Kids Have an Attitude of Gratitude.” And I have many more resources for you here.

I think gratitude is important year-round, but November is a perfect month to place an extra emphasis on gratitude. Maybe there are some gratitude activities you’d like to start for your family. Or maybe you’d like to do something different just for the month.

How to Help Your Kids Have an Attitude of Gratitude, Part 2 (November Gratitude Activities)Family Gratitude Activities

Here are some more family gratitude activities you could choose from. Just find the activity you feel drawn to, an activity you think would be fun and meaningful for your family.

“Gratitude Dance” This is just fun, and a gratitude dance is an activity that could work well if your family loves to move and dance together. It’s wonderful to do throughout the year. If you aren’t already doing it in November, this would be a great time to start!

This is a sweet geography lesson, too!

Light a Candle from Gratefulness.org is a beautiful online activity that encourages thoughtfulness and thankfulness.

Kristina Belnap at Parent Guide News has an article called “Attitude of Gratitude.” Her suggestions are to:

  1. Model Gratitude
  2. Expect your child to show gratitude.
  3. Go guilt-free.
  4. Commit random (but regular) acts of service and gratitude.

November is an ideal time to focus on making these suggestions a natural part of your life.

    I think instilling an attitude of gratitude at an early age is so beneficial to kids. I often find myself stuck in rut and not focusing on all of the blessings in my life I should be grateful for. I wish I had been taught at an early age to focus on the positive.
