This year, during the Tanunda Shopping Night Kids Trail, we encouraged children to write about something they are grateful for this Christmas. Gratitude practices like this are more than just heartwarming—they have shown that gratitude can boost kids’ happiness, reduce anxiety, and even strengthen their relationships. While Christmas often centers around gifts, focusing on small, meaningful moments—like family time or acts of kindness—helps children develop a deeper appreciation for the season’s true magic.
So this Christmas, let’s give our kids a gift that lasts a lifetime: gratitude. Encouraging children to notice and appreciate the warmth of family, the kindness of a friend, or the twinkle of the Christmas lights helps build a foundation of thankfulness. It’s about teaching them that the best gifts aren’t always found under the tree.
What’s one small thing your family is grateful for this holiday season?
