My Kids Wrote 10 Thank-You Notes, and Didn't Whine Once

You know that glazed-over look your kids give when you ask them to write thank-you notes? The sigh. The stall. The tragic collapse onto the couch.

We had it coming.

Last week, we finally sat down to crank out some post-birthday gratitude, and it had all the makings of a whine-fest. But this time, I tried something different: we used an AI "tone coach" prompt to help the kids shape their messages.

Here’s the twist—it actually worked. We turned a chore into connection. They picked their emotion, told me what they remembered about the gift, and the AI helped shape it into a thoughtful sentence or two. No shortcuts, no soulless templates—just scaffolding.

And it hit me: AI doesn’t kill sincerity. It removes the friction that keeps us from expressing it.

🤝 Want to Try It?

Here's a quick prompt we used:

"Help a 8-year-old write a warm and grateful thank-you note for a LEGO dinosaur set from Uncle Mike. Make it sound sincere but still kid-like, and include a memory from playing with it."

You can adjust it for your kid’s age, the gift, or even make it silly. Bonus points: we turned it into a printable file with their favorite fonts (yes, in their AI "handwriting").
