Everyday ways to teach gratitude

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I spent time with my in-laws, and while there I stumbled upon a book my sister-in-law has in her family room called Being A Boy: The Things You Should Know.

It’s a sweet book filled with, well, things boys should — but don’t always — know. It offers advice on being kind, helpful, showing respect, etc. It’s a great coffee table book to have lying around for your boys to flip through to offer daily reminders.

Speaking of every day, we asked our audience for some everyday ways they teach their kids gratitude. Here’s what they had to say.
