I was at a loss for how to handle the fights among my kick- Many activities had been tried, but they didn’t work. After reading What I Know for Sure written by Oprah Winfrey, a thought occurred to me one day.
“Starting with Dora, I want everyone to find the chance to say ‘thank you’.” I declared.
“What?” Ashley asked. “What’s going on?’’
“Just do it.”
Naturally, the kid^ all thought I had lost my mind. I wasn’t sure if they were wrong, but I pressed on.
“Now, we’re going to keep going around and everyone tells what they’re thankful for.”
Clearly doubtful and frustrated, the kids launched in, and I kept them going.
“I’m thankful for our house.”
“I’m thankful for my clothes.”
“I’m thankful for my whole life and everyone in the world.”
“What? What am I supposed to say?”
‘‘Keep going.”
“I’m grateful for my underwear!” Instant laughter erupted, music to my ears!
“Great, lei it out!” I encouraged. “What else?”
And that was all we needed. The gratitude--great and small, serious and funny---came rolling out.
“My backpack.”
“My teachers.”
On and on it went until every face was lit with a new kind of joy and laughter. I could sense a new feeling of peace and comfort in the air a reminder of not only our blessings, but the love we really did have for each other.
“I’m grateful for being grateful!” Dora declared.
“Me, too!” was the unanimous response.
I don’t remember the activities that took place the rest of the day. But it was a day when our family was transformed by two simple words: thank you. Since then, it’s become a family motto.
1.Why did the author ask her kids to find the chance to say “thank you”?
A. To play games among them. B. To kill their free lime.
C. To solve their fights. D. To make them be polite.
2.How did Ashley react when hearing his mother’s suggestion at first?
A. He was puzzled. B. He felt very glad.
C. He supported it. D. He responded actively.
3.What does the underlined word “unanimous” probably mean?

A. Mom’s Big Heart B. A Sweet Home
