Gratitude
Thanksgiving is the time to think about gratitude and give thanks to the good things
in our lives!
Both giving and receiving gratitude benefit physical and mental health by reducing
stress and other negative feelings.
Showing gratitude to others also helps strengthen relationships.
Discussion
Name one person or thing you're grateful for, whether it's small or big.
Try to think of something you don't usually show gratefulness for.
