The children of immigrants act as pint-size ambassadors of all things Thanksgiving, urging parents throughout the world to prepare all-American turkey meals that they learned about in school and sharing their incomplete yet innocently sweet knowledge of the holiday&#8217;s origins.<\/p>\n<p>. . .<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the children are not so much teachers as they are cheerleaders. Occasionally, they are simply culinary advisers. Maha Attieh, 47, a Jordanian-born Palestinian, takes her children to the market when she goes shopping for Thanksgiving, which she usually celebrates at her home in Midwood, Brooklyn, with a turkey stuffed with rice, chicken cutlets, nuts and raisins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They make their own menu,&#8221; said Mrs. Attieh, who works at the Arab-American Family Support Center in Brooklyn. &#8220;What they hear in school, what they hear from friends, they want the same thing.
