Many parents said that their children did not know how to be grateful, and even showed selfish behavior on us. There must be a reason why children don't know how to be grateful. Parents should first change their own education methods. So, how can we cultivate a grateful child?
How can we cultivate a grateful child?
1. Gratitude behavior allows children to participate together.
Buy gifts for the elderly and bring children. Parents and children participate in charity activities together. Parents and children wash their feet and massage their grandparents together. Parents and children watch Thanksgiving movies together. Parents' physical strength will be imperceptibly transferred to children.
2. Cultivate children's sense of gratitude.
If you want to let your children know how to be grateful, you should first cultivate their sense of gratitude and make them clear that they must be grateful when facing certain things in their daily life. In this regard, parents need to understand that it is not easy for children to see their own.
3. Pay with limits and let children do it properly.
Let the child know that parents love him from the bottom of their hearts, but there are limits to what parents can do. It is not an unlimited continuous effort, which will make children feel that whatever parents do for themselves is taken for granted. Don't do too many things instead of children, let them go in time and let them do it by themselves.
4. Start from daily life.
In daily life, there are many ways to express gratitude, such as parents' love, teachers' and classmates' help, others' encouragement, elders' loved ones, gifts received, etc., all of which need children to know how to be grateful and repay. Parents can seize every little thing in life to instill gratitude for their children.
5. Set an example for children.
The power of example teaching is far greater than that of precept teaching. Parents should set an example for their children and let them know what kind of behavior is right. Gradually, children will act according to what their parents do, and naturally they will understand how to pay their love.
6. Let children learn to give.
Bacon once said: "Habit is a kind of tenacious and fierce force, which can even dominate a person's life." Therefore, children should develop a good habit through education during their childhood.
When children are young, parents should cultivate the habit of giving, which is very useful for cultivating children's sense of gratitude.
Thanksgiving families can cultivate grateful children. Thanksgiving is love, gratitude is habit, and gratitude is happiness. Cultivating children's sense of gratitude is an important part of children's growth, and parents need to pay attention to it.
