Teach kids to write thank-you notes

A habit for life.

4 min read

Writing thank-you notes teaches children gratitude and writing at the same time.

How

  • Young children can draw a picture and sign their name
  • Give older kids a simple fill-in template
  • Keep it short: a few sentences is plenty
  • Write together at the table after birthdays and holidays
  • Let them put on the stamp and mail it
