Use two words to foster gratitude in your child
The best way to get your elementary schooler to do what you want is to set an example. So, to help your child learn to appreciate people and things, begin by using two words: Thank you. You can thank your child for listening, showing good manners, setting the table or working hard on schoolwork. If you haven't thanked your child by bedtime, do it then. Your child will fall asleep feeling positive about both of you.
