You don’t have extra time to teach Character Education Programs because you are already a great role model for your favorite character traits.

They want your children

1. To be good students and good children.
2. To be healthy and loving.
3. to have many friends. and
4. You want some peace of mind knowing that you’ve prepared your kids damn well for adult life.

Am I right so far? Excellent. You have come to the right place for help. But there is another trait your children lack that often annoys them.

Can you imagine? come on be honest I know a lot of people say you shouldn’t want this, but deep down in your heart you do.

When was the last time your kids made you breakfast in bed? (Mother’s Day does not count).

Or cleaned their rooms without you yelling and yelling? Most of the time you want them to appreciate just a little what they have.

But is that realistic? Can young children and children ever appreciate what their parents do for them? And should they?

Instilling gratitude in children is a difficult, challenging task. Still, it is possible to plant the seeds and one day they will sprout, rest assured.

Let me present an unusual character education lesson plan based on character traits of exceptional leaders and showing how Character Education Programs can sow the seeds of lifelong gratitude.

One trait forms the basis of this program.

1. Children who learn this quality (even if it does not manifest itself until adulthood) are guaranteed heart success.
2. Nothing is more important to a successful life than being filled with gratitude for who you are and what you have.
3. I will teach your children to express gratitude for things they now take for granted. You can watch them become happier. This expands their heart to love themselves and others.

How to become happier by expressing gratitude daily

Let your kids do the following steps. (I will be speaking directly to your child until the end of the lesson, so print it out for your use).

Step 1: Buy a special notebook that will be your gratitude journal.

Step 2: Start a section called Gratefulness Inventory. (1 minute)

Step 3: Think of 5 things to be thankful for. For example your house, your bed, your pet, your best friend, your clothes, your mind, etc. (3-5 minutes)

Step 4: Make a list of these 5 things. (3 – 5 minutes)

Step 5: Say to yourself or out loud, “I am grateful for or I am grateful for _______ (each of the 5 things on your list). (2-3 minutes)

Step 6: Add 6 more things to your list. Things can be body parts, e.g. “I’m grateful for my legs, I’m grateful for my eyes, I’m grateful for my brain, etc.” (3-5 minutes)

Step 7: Write a short note (100-200 words) expressing gratitude and thanks to your favorite person or best friend around the world. (15 minutes)

Step 8: Send the note or gift it to your loved one. (2 minutes)

Step 9: Notice how you are feeling. Do you feel different than when you started this exercise? Explain and share with mom if there is a difference. (3 – 5 minutes)

Step 10: Repeat 10 steps weekly for 3 months.

Mom, with your guidance and your child’s efforts, they will learn to enjoy expressing gratitude on a regular basis because it is so good for them.
