So, how do we raise thankful children? 1.Make gratitude a habit. Spend time each day appreciating what you have (Imaan,ALLAH love, shelter, food, family, friends, courage). . 2.Adopt an attitude of gratitude. This means being thankful no matter what our situation in life. Thankfulness means that we are aware of both our blessings and disappointments but that we focus on the blessings. 3.Express your thanks out loud. Don’t be quietly thankful. Your children need to know you are thankful for being MULSLIMS , for your home, for friends, mentors, and for the other good things in your life. Celebrate your thankfulness often and initiate conversations. 4.Be generous or giving and express how it affects others. Talk about being on both sides: giving and receiving. There are many ways to give: donating blood, money, food, clothing, time, and/or energy. Share these experiences with your children. Many community service projects are appropriate for elementary aged children.
