Teach Gratitude and HumilityThen your child will grow up in the practice of thankfulness, avoiding the risks of becoming self-centered or feeling entitled.Happy people are those who appreciate what they have, whether they have earned those things or have been given them. Children, however, aren’t naturally grateful for many reasons. They are egocentric, have limited cognitive capacity, and are immature. That’s why they need our help in developing an attitude of appreciation. They aren’t trying to be self-centered or ungrateful… that’s simply their natural state.
