Teaching kids to be truly thankful is about more than saying "thanks"—it’s about cultivating gratitude through small, meaningful actions. From writing thank-you notes and performing acts of kindness to creating family traditions like a “Gratitude Jar” or baking “Thank You” cookies, these activities make gratitude fun and memorable. Simple moments, like sharing what you're thankful for during snack time or on a drive, can create a culture of thankfulness at home. This Thanksgiving, Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area encourages families to inspire big, thankful hearts through acts of kindness that create ripples of joy far beyond the season.
