🗣️ Model gratitude – Regularly say “thank you” and express appreciation for small things.
📚 Read books about gratitude – Stories can help kids understand thankfulness in a fun way.
💖 Practice giving – Encourage kids to help others, like making cards for family members or donating toys.
Building a grateful mindset starts with small, meaningful moments! 🍂✨
