We all want our kids to be able to express their gratitude, and there are many ways of saying thanks. How do you encourage your children to show their appreciation? While we all know that writing notes is the right thing to do, kids often resist. To make things easier, the December 2006 issue of Highlights magazine (page 15) gives kids tips such as "mention the gift," "share some news about yourself," and "wish the person well." At www.HighlightsKids.com you'll find samples of thank-you notes that kids can print and send.
