Thanks a bunch

Thank you cards

as a mommy this is something i need to instill:

Its for for children to write good o'l fashion thank you cards. Sending a card after recieving a gift is not good manners alone...it gives the chance for the kiddo to reflect on how thoughtful the present was and the like from the giver.

tip: One way to make this a learning experience -instead of a chore- is to talk about why he needs to send them a card. Chances are, he'll realize that is makes them happy-and this awareness of others feelings is critical ro taising a moral child.

---and try hard to send it within a few days of receiving the gift...just remember ...be sincere.

If you're kiddo can write...great!...let em' do it themselves. mistakes make it original and true. Be sure to mention the gift and how much she's enjoying it.
