Choosing Gratitude: Helping Kids Move Past “What Do I Get?” (Digital PDF)

A short, Jesus-centered HeartTalk to help your kids see why gratitude matters, not just how to “behave better.” This guide helps kids spot deal-making (“what do I get?” thinking) and replace it with remember-and-respond gratitude rooted in what Jesus has done and what God has already given.

In this HeartTalk, you’ll get:

• A simple parent guide to lead the conversation

• Kid-friendly questions that reveal what’s going on under the words

• A clear way to name deal-making vs remember-and-respond gratitude

• Scripture that anchors gratitude in the gospel (1 John 4:19, James 1:17, Philippians 2:3–4, 1 Thessalonians 5:18)

• A brainstorming step to bring it into real family life
