Gratitude

Gratitude involves both feeling and expressing our thankfulness; it means we show our appreciation for others. According to the Harvard Healthbeat, “Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.” For a six-year-old, gratitude includes recognizing how others help, expressing thanks to others for this help, and identifying and talking about things that make them feel thankful.
