Raising a Grateful Child

During this time of year, many of us find ourselves thinking about what we're most thankful for.  This is a wonderful opportunity to show children how to reflect on what they're grateful for in their own lives.  This not only teaches kids how to focus on the positive, but it also shows them the importance of giving back to others.

In this My Domaine article, child psychologist Dr. Giacomo Bono shares some tips on how to raise a grateful child.  One of his suggestions includes learning to "trust the village" and lean on various mentors in a child's life to help impart important lessons and ideals.
