Establishing routines and schedules can be applied to many aspects of our children’s lives, including sending thank you cards for birthday and holiday presents, phone calls or thank you notes in appreciation for favours or a kindness by a teacher, friend or grandparent, etc.

Thank You Cards:

Thank you cards ideally should be sent within 2 weeks after receiving a gift. Establishing a routine of buying thank you cards at the same time as birthday party invitations is a good way to have the necessary cards and envelopes available when needed. Personalized stationery for kids is another excellent way to establish the habit and importance of sending thank you notes for any occasion.

Parents can be ready with paper and pen to register birthday gifts and givers and children can use the list as a thank you card guide.

Parents will need to send thank you notes for their children until kids are able do it themselves.

When children are old enough to write words or small sentences, make it easy for them by having thank you cards where they just need to write the gift in a designated space and sign their name. Older children can write their own thank you cards with a helpful template that can be copied and personalized for each giver and gift.
