Gratitude is one of the basic characteristics of a happy person. How to raise a child to be a grateful person in our material world where it can be said that our gratitude is limited to the word "Thank you"? Gratitude is considered to be the ability to appreciate what you have, and in order to develop this character in children, you need to repeat the following exercises regularly.

Gift of the day
Sit down with your child every day and count the events, occasions, impressions, good relationships, toys, treats, and moments that can be counted as gifts for this day. It should be noted that these are really good gifts. You can also keep a "gratitude diary". Day of good deeds.
It is necessary to set aside one day a month and learn to do good deeds with your child, such as cleaning up the environment, participating in the activities of charity organizations, and feeding animals. It is a very important educational measure that teaches the child that it is pleasant to receive things from others, and that it is also nice to give.
Do you remember...
It is very important to remember good times and strengthen them. Remember the good events of that day, "you liked it, do you remember", "then, you were very happy", "you looked happy, do you remember", etc. even if it was, it should be given as a topic of gratitude, such as "it's a good thing we didn't force you to eat when you didn't like to eat."
You are my helper!
When you say this word to a child, the child feels valued and begins to genuinely help and try to help.
You are caring.
The ability to care for others is essential to developing a grateful person. "You are caring and good" even in the little things your child does. "Thank you" and the word "care" should be embedded in their heads. The issue of being attentive, responsible, and caring begins with this word.
What can we share with others today?
Scientific research has proven that children love to share anything and are happiest at this time. I am especially happy to share things that I have made with my own hands, that I have created together, and that I have bought with the money that I have collected. It is necessary to support it and make it clear that you can also give nice words as a gift. It is your responsibility to try to do these things once every day.
We are lucky.
It is necessary to learn to say that everything that happens is good luck. Walking in nice shoes is lucky, having an empty table in a cafe is lucky, eating delicious ice cream is lucky, etc.
Pretty cool, isn't it?
Similar to the previous exercise, "It's nice that we are eating together as a family, isn't it?", "How nice is it to have time to lie down like this?" It's nice, isn't it?" and "It's nice that we can share our feelings with each other" and teach them to feel good by constantly using them, and the child will grow up to be a person who sees things positively and feels happiness in the future.

Happiness doesn't come by getting something, it doesn't represent what we don't have, but it means living by appreciating what we have. Children, especially when they are little, don't know the effort we put in for them, to make their childhood happy, to make them feel comfortable. But by training them to do the above exercises regularly, they not only notice and appreciate what they have, but also grow up to be people who understand and appreciate their parents' hard work and appreciate their environment.
