|
| #4. Time to Play! Put down your smartphone. Play with your children. Be thankful for this magical age where fun and games help children thrive. |
|

|
| #5. Our Differences. We live in a melting pot. Teach your children to honor those differences and celebrate the ways that make our country unique and awesome! |
|
|
|
|
| #6. Our Children's Friends. They come into their lives for reason. Be grateful for the lessons each relationship brings, espeically about helping them feel secure outside the family. |

|
| #7. Books. A really great book has the power to teach and inspire us, and that is a gift. Instill a love of books from a young age, and read with your child. |

| #8. Sleep. A good night's rest for everyone in the family is often what many parents are thankful for; we understand! |
|
