The Half Hollow Hills PTA Council invites parents, teachers and community members to a presentation entitled "Saying 'Thank You' is Beyond Good Manners: The Science and Practice of Raising Grateful Kids."
This is Part 1 of two workshops presented by Dr. Jeffrey Froh.
Being grateful isn't just a nice personal quality that leads to good manners. By being truly thankful, a person has more chance of being emotionally, physically and socially successful.
