Why gratitude trumps a ‘give me’ culture — and how parents can teach kids to do for others
Fox News
As the holidays draw near, psychologist Natalie Bernstein and children's book publisher Ellen Sabin offer actionable steps for children to give back — and build a sense of gratitude.
Meanwhile, a Boston-area dad said that he finds a focus on giving happens "at stoplights in the car, while driving between school and home." Giving to others "doesn't have to be monetary." Gratitude is "something that can be practiced all year 'round." "Maybe you’re reaching out and calling your grandmother, who’s lonely, for the holidays — that’s giving." Deirdre Reilly is a senior editor in lifestyle with Fox News Digital.
"I know in our family we need to focus more on gratefulness and giving, but there are only so many hours in a day and the topic always feels vague," the father of two teens told Fox News Digital.
