Jo Frost Instagram – WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS ? The art of writing & going deeper than a quick verbal ‘Thank you’ is the opportunity for your child to express their creativity in an organic way. I find it helps children get real comfortable with feelings of gratitude. In today’s world the biggest benefit is fostering mindfulness. Taking a moment to really think about the gift they received after ripping through the wrapping paper, that someone took the time to think about them & what they may like. It is truly the art of encouraging small talk too beyond a note, a valuable skill for us all.  Our world today is missing a lot of these fundamental basics with 1000 excuses for not upholding them. So I invite you to think about what makes all of us feel appreciated?… I hope as you read this post it may encourage you as your child’s role model, teacher, mentor, to think about how you show your appreciation to those around you and the smallest of gestures that stretch a long way.  What’s your thoughts on this topic, is there less respect in the world?
