Instilling gratitude in children lays a foundation for lifelong happiness.
Thanksgiving is a great time to teach kids about the value gratitude. Engage kids in making thank-you cards, helping with dinner, or creating a gratitude tree. Explain the importance of being thankful not just for big things but also for everyday blessings.
By fostering thankfulness, children learn to appreciate life’s richness and carry the spirit of Thanksgiving into their futures.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
