As we end the year and reflect on 2023, here are some tangible ways to get the entire family involved in lifting others up in this season of giving thanks.
With the holidays approaching, here are some safety tips to keep in mind for your children so they can have a safe and fun experience.
Dr. Katherine Rivera-Spoljaric
The holiday season is here! It is the season of joy and feel-good memories, but it is also the season of occasional embarrassment by ungrateful child moments. Through the years my children have had a few of those. At times, they get greedy with a focus on toys, toys and more toys. They have exhibited less-than-graceful gift receiving etiquette. Finally, they have complained ad nauseum about having to attend “boring” dinners and events. All these attitudes trigger a variety of reactions in me from itchy skin to full-on monster mom attacks. Therefore, my husband and I started coming up with different ideas on how to raise our children in gratitude. I am going to share a few of the things that have worked for us.
