I wish I hadn't reminded my kids to say "Thank You." This message is for all ages!

Before our kids (we) EXPRESS appreciation, they (we) should EXPERIENCE appreciation.

It's like sprinkling the leaves of a plant when what's needed is to water the roots.

The intention is to guide them (and us) from recognizing kindness to valuing kindness.
A x A x A = AG Awareness x Appreciation x Acknowledgement = Authentic Gratitude
