Teaching children gratitude beyond “thank you”
Genuine gratitude goes beyond saying thank you, involving recognizing kindness and valuing effort. Parents can foster this by highlighting the effort behind received items, encouraging action-based expressions of thanks, and practicing daily reflection on positives. Modeling gratitude and connecting it with empathy and sharing also cultivates this essential skill in children.
