Teaching Your Family to Appreciate Life

Have each family member write down one thing they’re thankful for every day. Saving the writings in a pouch or an envelope allows the writer to go back and read them from time to time when they are feeling sad. 

Another way to find appreciation is to write thank-you notes to whoever does something good for you. This is a good habit to teach children because it can turn into a life-long habit that will have many good rewards for them in the future.
