How important is it to let children know gratitude?

1. Very important. Gratitude is a word that people often talk about. Gratitude is the source of mankind and the cornerstone of the building of life. To cultivate children's gratitude, we can't just talk without practice. We should let them truly feel the hardships of their parents and let them fully understand the meaning of gratitude through empathy. Only gratitude can be respected. If a child considers other people's feelings and cares about other people's actions, then the child not only knows how to be grateful, but also knows how to respect others. Then a child who knows how to respect others will be respected by others.

2. Children who know how to be grateful have high emotional intelligence. American psychologists have found that children who know how to be grateful and know how to be grateful have relatively high emotional intelligence. They are enthusiastic, firm, intelligent, careful and more energetic, and these children are more willing to help others. Under the correct guidance, children will not selfishly say that they only like their new toys or only eat their own food. Instead, they will remember to help their friends and relatives and share with them. When a child knows how to be grateful, he will be considerate. For example, in the above article, Qian Qian's mother arranges breakfast for her children every day. If children know how to be grateful, if they express their gratitude to their mothers, things will not end like this. Therefore, if children don't know how to be grateful, they will not think comprehensively.

3. How to cultivate children's gratitude? Give children some key words to express their gratitude. The most important thing is to provide enough opportunities for children to practice how to express their gratitude and encourage Ta to meet the challenge. But don't force your child, and don't use your child's guilt to express gratitude to others. "I work for you day and night and you don't even thank me" is something you shouldn't say. This will not only lead to bad behavior, but also arouse children's defensive psychology. Strengthen children's behavior of expressing gratitude by holding "gratitude ceremony" at home. This method will teach children to form the habit of looking at things around them with gratitude, no matter how insignificant they are. The more he cherishes what he has, the less he takes it for granted.
