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.

Thank Goodness for Connections

Your child needs to stay connected to the people he is thankful for.

Arrange a special meeting this month between your child and anyone he might be missing. It might be a parent, grandparent, favorite relative, or a friend who has moved away.

Arrange for that person to make a video and send it to you as a special surprise for your child. Or, plan a FaceTime meeting with that person.

Afterwards, you can help your child follow-up with a note or text to the person about how great it was to stay connected with them.
