Hi,
We agree, and love that you took the time to email a comment like this!
I am the co-inventor of the game we are talking about, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Count Your Blessings as well as the classic game, Balderdash.
Hope you get a chance to pick up the game or the CSS: Count Your Blessings book I co-authored with my partner, Elizabeth Bryan.
Grateful for your words,
Laura

This game is right up my alley! I’ve tried to consistently emphasize the importance of gratitude with both my kids through consistent use of “please” and “thank you” not only to each other but while saying grace and in our attitude toward every day activities.

My boys and I pray together every night and list all the things we're grateful for from the day. We also pray together before every meal to express gratitude for our food. .-= Ben´s last blog ..The First Leo and Some Miss Cleo =-.

I think it’s very important for parents to teach their children at a very early age to appreciate and take care of their possessions, be thankful for what we have, donate to the needy, and value and love all the members of their family. No matter what trying times we go through, we focus on thinking positively and we think of the many people in our world who are less fortunate and suffering.

We close our week counting our blessings and the way that we’ve been especially touched by God’s care for us personally. It helps us keep looking on the bright side!

My kids write thank you cards for gifts received and for special things done for them. The last two years my 9 yr old daughter has asked for donations to the local animal shelter in lieu of birthday presents. I list 3 things in my head that I a grateful for every night prior to going to sleep.

We talk about how blessed we are-I think that in the U.S. we are lower middle class, but really that still makes us some of the richest people in the world and I try to portray that to our kids. And my husband was laid off twice in 3 months-my kids really do view it as a blessing!

We attempt to find the joy in everything. For example instead of dreading going out and shoveling the snow we had fun and enjoyed the beauty of God’s creation.

What a great concept for a game. We all need to be reminded EVERY day to count our blessings, don't we? .-= Paige´s last blog ..Home Decor? =-.

We say grace before our meals and try to volunteer. Also, we give blood…. may not be an obvious way to be thankful, we are very appreciative.

We try hard to teach courtesy and respect. Please and thank you are regular parts of our vocabulary in our household.

Every morning when we do our opening of our school time we ask what prayers we have and then any blessings we have to be thankful for. When we start looking down on a situation I always ask what do they have to be grateful for.
