[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that kids are going to be grateful for what they have, because it's just what's normal to them. You can express gratitude, for sure, and you should, but I think that you also need to make sure that you aren't constantly comparing what you have to people who have more. If you think of your house as small or tiny or modest, or your family as relatively poor, then that's the habit you are teaching. Don't assume that all the kids your kids go to school with are living in the big houses. There are people in apartments and condos and small houses even in Bethesda, and your kids will likely be in school with some of them. [/quote]
