I was at a loss for how to handle the fights among my kick- Many activities had been tried, but they didn’t work. After reading What I Know for Sure written by Oprah Winfrey, a thought occurred to me one day.
“Starting with Dora, I want everyone to find the chance to say ‘thank you’.” I declared.
“What?” Ashley asked. “What’s going on?’’
“Just do it.”
Naturally, the kid^ all thought I had lost my mind. I wasn’t sure if they were wrong, but I pressed on.
“Now, we’re going to keep going around and everyone tells what they’re thankful for.”
Clearly doubtful and frustrated, the kids launched in, and I kept them going.
“I’m thankful for our house.”
“I’m thankful for my clothes.”
“I’m thankful for my whole life and everyone in the world.”
“What? What am I supposed to say?”
‘‘Keep going.”
“I’m grateful for my underwear!” Instant laughter erupted, music to my ears!
“Great, lei it out!” I encouraged. “What else?”
And that was all we needed. The gratitude--great and small, serious and funny---came rolling out.
“My backpack.”
“My teachers.”
On and on it went until every face was lit with a new kind of joy and laughter. I could sense a new feeling of peace and comfort in the air a reminder of not only our blessings, but the love we really did have for each other.
“I’m grateful for being grateful!” Dora declared.
“Me, too!” was the unanimous response.
I don’t remember the activities that took place the rest of the day. But it was a day when our family was transformed by two simple words: thank you. Since then, it’s become a family motto.
