Thanksgiving education belongs to moral education. It is not only an important part of moral education, but also a breakthrough point to improve the effectiveness of moral education. Gratitude education aims at the education of gratitude to others, takes the formation of gratitude to others as the starting point, takes the education of gratitude to others as the value orientation, and returns to nature with affinity and personality. Gratitude education advocates using care and love to stimulate individual's inner gratitude to others, society and nature.

Thanksgiving education can be widely promoted. Because the fundamental task of gratitude education is to promote the self-realization of the educated and improve their life, especially their spiritual life, that is, through gratitude education, they can establish a correct attitude towards life and help them form a sound spiritual personality and healthy thoughts and feelings. The direct goal of gratitude education is to cultivate the gratitude consciousness of the educated, promote the formation and development of their gratitude quality, and cultivate the ability of the educated to recognize, identify, appreciate and repay gratitude. The highest goal of gratitude education is to stimulate the inner love and goodwill of the educated, so that they can actively give goodwill with tolerance, dedication and love on the basis of gratitude, so as to realize the change of the role of the educated, pursue higher moral ideals and cultivate a higher moral environment. The ultimate goal of gratitude education is to cultivate a "complete person", that is, to promote the educated to become a "complete person" with culture, ability, knowledge and comprehensive and harmonious development by fully tapping the inner goodness of the educated.

In addition, pay attention to the process experience of gratitude education. Gratitude education is an education that pays attention to process experience. On the one hand, the process of gratitude education is a process that the educated experience personally in life practice, that is, it emphasizes the sincere experience and physical and mental input of the educated in the education process. Also, gratitude education must pay attention to the cultivation of personal moral judgment. Let the educated have the right to judge and choose whether to be grateful. The process of judging others' good deeds is a process in which the educated know and experience "grace" and the quality of gratitude gradually takes root. Ignoring the cultivation of educated moral judgment will only make them fall into irrational, numb and blind robots. Personality equality is based on mutual understanding and respect, rather than unilaterally emphasizing gratitude. As a moral education worker, the most important thing is practice.
