When You Say “Thank You,” Mean It

Everyone wants their children to be happy, responsible, and well adjusted, but there’s no rulebook to teach parents how to do so–until now.
In this book, you’ll learn how Mary O’Donohue, a proud mother of two, developed a practical program that allows parents to instill timeless values in their children over the course of one year. Focusing on one key value a month, the whole family can learn together through twelve fun and family-friendly activities, including:

• Keeping a Gratitude Board
• Creating Respect Tiles
• Making a Compassion in Action Calendar
• Hosting an Earning for Learning Gameshow
• Starting a Life Map

By inspiring common values such as lifelong learning, a sense of joy, and respect for others, this unique guide offers purposeful advice for raising joyful, thoughtful children–who will make their world a better one to live in.
