Giving thanks feels good and is a healthy thing to do. November is a good time to give thanks, so thankfulness will be our topic for the month.

Giving Thanks Is Everywhere

Go to the library with your child or do some internet research at home. Look for how different countries and cultures celebrate being thankful.

How many have a holiday like USA’s Thanksgiving?  What are some of the details of different celebrations?

With young children, you can use what you learn to make pictures, costumes, or props that represent these different celebrations.

If your family celebrates a thanksgiving holiday, at that celebration you can have your child talk about what he learned.
