We have officially entered the holiday season! As you celebrate with friends and family, keep in mind that the early years are a great opportunity to instill values of gratitude and empathy.
Based on research and conversations with parents, we understand gratitude is an experience that has four parts:
-
What we NOTICE in our lives for which we can be grateful
-
How we THINK about why we have been given those things
-
How we FEEL about the things we have been given
-
What we DO to express appreciation in turn

And during this gratitude season, please also remember - we are deeply grateful for you and all you are doing to help raise Monterey County!
