The Kindness of Encouraging Children

"Friendly people are caring people, eager to provide encouragement and support when needed most."
~ Rosabeth Moss Kanter

I believe in thank you notes.  But sometimes, it can take some nudging to get my children to do them.  A few days ago, we managed to put a dent in our Christmas thank you notes.  And today we were blessed with a great follow up to my nudging: acknowledgment from the recipients!  Two very good friends of ours, a married couple, sent my children a text saying how much they enjoyed receiving the note and including a photo of themselves with the note.  What more could a parent ask for in terms of encouragement for her children?!
