The key to let children learn to be grateful is to let children learn to be grateful through family education. Only in this way can children treat every life equally, respect every ordinary ordinary labor and respect themselves more. Only those who know how to be grateful will have less grievances in life.
Let children begin by thanking their parents.
Many children may not know how hard their parents work, let alone how hard-won their parents' money is. According to the data survey, 70% of primary school students think that their parents' contribution is reasonable. In this case, consciously bring the children to their parents' work site, let them participate together, and let them personally feel the hardships of their parents' work to make money.
Parents don't ask for anything in return for their children, but it is an essential lesson for them to learn to accept love and be grateful when they grow up.
Parents should set an example.
Children are easy to imitate, plastic and easy to accept all kinds of information from the outside world. Parents' words and deeds will gradually give their children a behavioral hint. Therefore, as parents, in the process of gratitude education for their children, we should uphold the principle of "setting an example by example" and set a good example of gratitude.
Not only do you always feel grateful in your daily life, but also use your love to guide and infect your children. When children care for or help their parents in their daily lives, parents should be sensitive, thank and encourage their children appropriately. This kind of gratitude of parents not only leads by example, but also makes children feel the gratitude consciousness and behavior of their parents, and also makes them feel the joy of giving kindness. Therefore, the exemplary behavior of parents is of great significance and value for guiding children to be grateful.
Parents should learn to show weakness in front of their children.
If parents do everything quickly and well, then children have no chance to step in and help. Over time, the child is used to accepting, and all his needs are unconditionally met by his parents. It is natural to think that everything should be satisfied first and others should give it. Parents can try to "show weakness" in front of their children and let them do what they can.
Make full use of various festivals as the carrier of education.
Use various festivals to educate children to learn to be grateful. For example, during the Spring Festival, children should be taught to express gratitude when accepting gifts from grandparents and other relatives. When they get home, they should ask their children to take good care of them and cherish the feelings of others.
On Teacher's Day, take children to make greeting cards for teachers and express their best wishes. On Father's Day and Mother's Day, educate children to say a few words of thanks to their parents. They don't necessarily thank their parents for how much help they have given them, but only need to express the little happiness in their lives.
Teach children how to be grateful in daily life.
Family is the main activity place for children, and children are experiencing and feeling all the experiences brought by family daily life. If parents can make good use of this opportunity, let their children learn to know and know grace in a subtle way, and cultivate their ability and mind to know grace, it will certainly achieve good results.
First of all, children always think that everything in the world is alive, thoughtful and emotional. Therefore, parents can use empathy to let their children learn to recognize and feel the feelings of others, control negative behaviors, and guide their children to make positive behaviors such as mutual assistance, sharing and humility. Secondly, as parents, we should try our best to create a grateful atmosphere at home and provide children with a variety of practical opportunities. In various practical activities, we should consciously seize the opportunity to inspire and guide children to identify and feel the altruistic behavior of others. In addition, parents can tell their children short and pithy fables, fairy tales or biographies of celebrities.
Let children know that parents don't want their children to return.
Parents often say in front of their children, "Mom and Dad are working so hard for you!" On the surface, I hope that parents will pay more in this way. In fact, it has caused a psychological burden to children, implying that "I pay you, you have to return", so that children will be "form to form" grateful.
Educate children to take an active part in group activities.
Parents can let their children participate in group activities, encourage them to care about the group, cultivate their sense of responsibility for the group and family, and make them feel responsible for the society and the country in their own eyes. In short, only by letting children know how to give and care for others can he learn to be grateful.
Let children start from small things.
Parents should know that children's good quality and good behavior are constantly cultivated. Parents should let their children start with small things. In order to let children know how to respect others and be grateful to everyone, parents can cultivate their children's habit of being polite from "thank you, good night". Let children know that people should get along well with each other through the little things in life. If you have the ability, you should know how to pay and how to serve, but if others are good to you, you should know how to be grateful. Only a child who knows how to be grateful can learn to appreciate everything his relatives have given him and everyone who has supported and helped him during his growth.
Parents can open the door to their children's hearts through good communication, let their children love their parents and families by creating a warm and caring family atmosphere, and promote their gratitude through their parents' "role models". If you can't communicate well, you can't let your child enter the inner world of your parents, and you can't let your child know the efforts and hardships of your parents. It is difficult for your child to have a grateful heart.
