1, parents lead by example

When the child is young, you directly tell him to be grateful. In fact, children don't know what it means. In his eyes, gratitude is a word, he doesn't understand it, and it's no use telling him. Parents should start from small things and set an example. Children should praise him for doing good deeds and thank him for helping you. When others help you or your family, you should also say thank you or do something to thank each other.

2. Make children full of love

Gratitude also includes sharing. When children are young, they are selfish at first. Children touch their own things and even play with other children's toys, and they are unwilling to share them with others. This is normal. At this time, parents should not force children to share. If you force them to share, they will feel that sharing is a painful thing after a long time, and they will not want to share it in the future.

3. Appropriate delay to meet the needs of children.

Before the child is one year old, it can be satisfied that the child needs nursing and hugging, but as the child grows up slowly, the child's needs will increase day by day, the child's self-awareness will form, and the child will have a sense of "I" in his heart. At this time, when the child cries for toys and asks his parents to play with him or other reasonable requirements, parents can satisfy him, but they should postpone the time of satisfaction a little, so that the child can understand that mom and dad love him but the whole world doesn't revolve around him.

4. Praise the child when he truly thanks others.

Teacher Yin Jianli said: If you want your child to hate something, force him to do something. If you want your child to like something, praise him. We adults like to listen to good words, not to mention children, what actions did children do when they were very young? If we adults smile at him, he will be sure of this action and will continue this action in the future. Children who grow up in families that encourage more criticism are more confident in the sunshine, kinder to others and kinder to the world.

5. Keep a grateful heart.

Everyone should have a grateful heart. I don't think it's that children don't know how to be grateful, but they just don't know how to express it. Some children will show it directly, say thank you, a big hug or kind greeting and so on. But some children don't know how to express it. They know their parents' hard work in their hearts, but they don't know how to say it and express it with actions.
