Gratitude is an attitude that can be taught to our kids. Dr. Lesly Devereaux shares these eight ways to teach this character-building trait! 

• Ask kids to donate items in your home that you no longer use. 
• Encourage kids to donate toys. 
• Let kids collect food for a food bank. 
• Encourage kids to show love to a senior citizen. 
• Teach kids how to encourage a friend. 
• Let kids send a note to a friend. 
• Take your child to volunteer. 
• Teach kids to use their natural gifts (cooking a meal for someone, drawing a picture, etc.)!

Later in life, your kids will be grateful that you encouraged these things.
