We want our kids to be confident of their own abilities, but we also want them to be appreciative of the help and support they get from others. Since children begin life naturally self-centered, let’s just say they can be a bit oblivious about other people’s feelings. That’s why, especially around the holidays, it can be useful to think about how we can help children learn to say thanks—and mean it.

Studies show that grateful people are happier people. And when kids learn to focus on what and who they’re grateful for, and practice expressing their thanks, they feel more confident and connected, too.

我們希望孩子對自己的能力要有自信,同時更希望他們能夠學會欣賞和感激別人的幫忙。由於孩子們在成長初期都會較爲自我中心,或者說對別人的感受有點不以爲然,所以我們要教導孩子學會感恩,特別是利用假日,好好地想一想怎樣以實際行動表達對別人的感謝。

研究指出,懂得感恩的人會較快樂。而且當孩子懂得關注對什麽要感恩、對誰要感激,并且學會表達他們的謝意時,他們會感到更有自信和與別人的關係更爲密切。
