Teaching Kids the Basic Etiquettes Will Keep Them Healthy and Fit
According to psychologists at the University of California and University of Miami, youngsters who took part in daily gratitude exercises reported higher levels of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, attentiveness and energy.
The researchers also reported that the children were also more likely to help someone than members of a control group who focused on daily hassles.
Sue Chain, a mother of two kids, started a family tradition at Thanksgiving in which everyone around the table takes a turn reflecting on what they're most thankful for over the past year.
"It's a way to take a minute to think about what we're really appreciative of and share it with the rest of the family," the New York Daily News quoted Chain, as saying.
"They surprised me. They weren't telling us about new toys or treats, but friendships and activities we'd done together," she added.
A New York etiquette expert and founder of EtiquetteOutreach.com, Lyudmila Bloch said that the exercise of teaching kids to be grateful was very healthy.
"This exercise is very useful. The first parenting lesson is to model by example, especially when it comes to gratitude and good manners. If a toddler can say a few words, one of the most important words they need to learn is 'thank you,'" Bloch said.
