High Maintenance Mom

Teaching the kids to say thank you is an important part of the holidays for me. We try to break down the process to fit our kids abilities - saying thank you on the phone, "signing" their name on a card, drawing a picture, telling me what to write, writing a few words themselves, to finally writing complete sentences. Of course we have to make the time to do it but once we do, we can often write one thank you note every night or every other night. Having cute stationery and fun stamps really helps the process. As always, there are cute holiday stamps available but if you look online there are also more kid oriented super hero stamps (from Marvel and from DC Comics) and Disney (with the little mermaid and with Aladdin).
