The wheel of history moves slowly and enters the gate of 2 1 century. With the further development of market economy and the influence of foreign multiculturalism, the fine traditions and virtues of our Chinese nation have been impacted. "Thanksgiving" has become an unfashionable word, which can only be hidden in the dictionary, and can't make any waves in some people's hearts. Among these people, it is particularly striking that all middle school students are born after 90, and most of them are only children. They have been cared for and pampered by their parents since childhood and live a carefree life. Over time, they have formed a self-centered selfishness, ignoring the care and help of their parents and others. I seldom consider my parents' difficulties, and I don't care about helping others. Imagine how a generation that has grown up in this way can honor their parents, care about the collective, love the motherland and shoulder the heavy responsibility of building the motherland. Therefore, it has become an important task to carry out gratitude education for junior high school students. As an ordinary educator, how to give gratitude education to junior high school students? Some thoughts are as follows: To educate students about gratitude, we should cultivate their gratitude consciousness.

Many sociologists and psychologists have investigated different teenagers, and the results show that gratitude consciousness is not innate, but needs education and guidance. That is to say, to educate students, we must first let them know how to be grateful. I read a short story before, the protagonist is a mother and son. Father died early, mother and son lived alone, and mother devoted all her love to her son. Every time she eats fish at home, she is reluctant to eat it. Always bring the fish to his son and eat the fish head by himself. When the son brings the fish to his mother, the mother always says, "You eat it, son. Mother loves fish heads." Time flies and my son has grown up. In order to show his love for his mother, every time he eats fish, his son first puts the fish head into his mother's bowl. The mother looks at his son's "filial piety" and swallows back what he said. Although this is a story, it has to make us think deeply. To let children learn to be grateful, we must first let them know how to be grateful. If you don't know how to be grateful, how can you talk about gratitude and gratitude? Then how to cultivate students' gratitude?

First, we should do it consciously, not just silently, but present our labor and dedication to them, so as to educate them and let them feel the kindness and love of society and people. The specific way can be to tell touching stories or give examples around you. Let them connect stories and examples with their real life, pay attention to the efforts of parents and others, and realize the existence of kindness, so as to achieve the purpose of gratitude. The story of eating straw gives us a good demonstration. The main idea of the story is that in a rural family, the family is sitting around the dining table, but the mother brings a plate of straw. The whole family was surprised and didn't understand what was going on. Mother said, "I've cooked for you all my life. You never said the food was delicious, nor did you say a word of thanks. This is not the same as eating straw. " That's the end of the story. I don't want to introduce my family's reaction. But I'm sure the whole family must be shocked. We can take "mother" as an example.

Second, let students do it purposefully and let them "discover goodness" by themselves. Specific practices can include experiencing the birth process of parents, observing and recording the day of teachers and classmates, etc. Let them find the kindness of parents' parenting, teachers' teaching and classmates' help in their experiences and records. The mind is awakened again and again, and the emotions are touched again and again, so that they are moved. Knowing the existence of kindness, gratitude arises spontaneously.

In order to educate students to be grateful, we should inspire their gratitude. Soviet educator Suhomlinski said: "Children's hearts should not be the storehouse of truth. The biggest bad habit I try to prevent is indifference and lack of enthusiasm. My childhood heart is as cold as ice, and I will become an ordinary person in the future. " Therefore, to educate students about gratitude, it is necessary to stimulate their gratitude. We all have this experience. To surf on calm water, just tap it gently.

It's not enough to hit once. You have to put your hand in the water and push hard. The more you keep pushing, the waves behind will push the waves in front, and the water will surge, inspiring students' gratitude. Just like beating waves, you have to go deep into the water. The specific way can be to go deep into the students' family life, understand the children's performance at home, find and set a grateful example, and publicize it. As the saying goes, "the power of example is infinite." When students see what their peers have done, especially when classmates and good friends wash their parents' clothes and help their parents with housework, they will have a strong desire to repay their kindness, and the inner waves will naturally collide with sparks of action. To educate students about gratitude, we should establish their gratitude consciousness.

Gratitude is an emotion and a reflection of the realm of life. Only by being grateful all the time can we get and pay greater emotional returns from all aspects. Therefore, giving gratitude education to students should help them establish a sense of gratitude. As the saying goes, "a drop of grace pays off a spring", what's more, parents and teachers pay more than just a drop of water. Therefore, it is necessary for us to express our gratitude with actions. Specific methods are flexible and diverse, such as 1. You can start with filial piety and assign homework to "do one thing for your parents". 2. Hold a class meeting with gratitude as the theme, and make handwritten newspapers and blackboard newspapers. 3, combined with major festivals such as Women's Day, Teacher's Day, Senior Student's Day, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, etc. Make family cards and small gifts for parents, teachers and classmates to express gratitude. 4. Carry out practical activities of "returning to society", cleaning streets and public places on holidays, etc. Facing different students and different environments, we have different methods according to local conditions, but there is only one purpose, that is, to establish their gratitude, repay their parents' kindness, repay their teachers' kindness and repay their motherland's kindness.

Liu Yong, a famous writer in Taiwan Province Province, warned young people to be grateful and always be grateful in an inspirational article. As an educator, it is incumbent upon us. Let's cultivate students' gratitude, melt their indifference with love, and let them grow up healthily and happily.
