Thanksgiving is the time of year when there are all the things we are grateful for the recognition. It's that time of life to encourage young people to appropriate their selfless and see. Adolescents must sometimes be shown how well they have, selfless activities such as feeding the hungry, or help in a homeless shelter.
Teenagers tend to get so wrapped up in their current social situation to do what others have, rather than grateful forwhat they already have. "I want the latest, the greatest, the new thing now." It 'important to be in situations where they pointed out that what they are doing, they have participated.
In early November, make arrangements to visit a couple of Saturdays or after school and volunteer with local missions and shelters. Sign up for your family to serve voluntarily fed Thanksgiving dinner in a homeless shelter or mission, hunger. Volunteer to help your child in a clothing store, bank, sortingand folding clothes, used to be sold at a big discount. Sign your kids at home to dinner at a local Ronald McDonald and know the families are and why they are there. Do not go door to door to collect food from a local bank and volunteers for distribution to needy families.
It does little good for young people to raise funds, collect the goods may, collecting clothes, etc. and never meet the people who help. Only by meeting and engaging in lifethose less fortunate young people are becoming aware of how happy I am.
After participating in these activities, at Thanksgiving, a real discussion with your child about what they are thankful. Encourage them to think things are not only material but also non-material things such as family, friends and faith. Do not settle for one word answers. Encourage them to explain why I am grateful.
Keep the conversation going, even afterThanksgiving. Christmas is a good time for your children to begin to give something back and discover ways they can help, as those who are less fortunate.
