Hello @germanbava, this is a beautiful piece. The relevance of gratitude in our lives and coexistence with others around us can never be overemphasized.

It is nice to know that you give thanks to God and also for cooking meals. It always feels good to be appreciated.

Indeed a child is easier to guide when compared with an adolescent. You suggestion of encouraging them to engage in avid reading is one good one. Though it depends on the books they read.

All the best in this contest friend.
