There are moments when I get really tired my kids asking, "Can I have (fill in the blank here)?" Or, better yet, "Mom, can you take me/give me/do this?" This week, I decided to conduct a very unscientific study about what kids and teens are actually thankful for, as opposed to what they actually want. I asked family, friends and MoneyTrail users for their help. The kids that answered ranged in age from 3 to 22. The results were:
- #1 Response: Family
- #2 Response: Friends
The rest of the responses were (in no particular order):
Tractors
Goldfish crackers
Being out of school
My dignity
Being me
Food
God
Cousins
Coats
Public transportation with heat
Skype
Facetime
Musical instruments

Computers
Chapstick
My dog
Pizza
Health
My shyness
House
My very unscientific conclusion is that even though kids and teens may often ask for a lot, they have a really good sense for the important things in life.
What are your kids thankful for?
LOL! You can tell my kids don't like cold weather but are very social!! LOL! I love this list!
ReplyDelete@Mochaprincessqt Thanks! I had a lot of fun compiling the list. I just love the humor in some of the answers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great question to ask our kids! I love this time of year when gratitude is on everyone's minds and in our conversations!
ReplyDeleteThanks @Jill. Wonder what could happen if we talked about gratitude and thankfulness all year? Maybe a few less "gimmes!"
