As a child, When I was living with my aunty and her kids she use to teach us how to be appreciative and show gratitude...but she is one big ungrateful woman. Aunty dupsy if u are reading this, its me Jennifer that is telling the world ur story..she was teaching us to show gratitude yet whenever anyone gifted her something, she would bad mouth it and criticise the quality of the gift behind their back and pretend to like it in their presence..my aunty is two faced. Parents or guardians should please always practice what they preach. They should lead and live by examples.. Children doesn't learn fast from what they are told but from what they see. One of my aunty daughter followed her mums footsteps she is a replica of her mum that's why she has a very unsteady relationships with people..ingrates! 2 Likes |

I agree with those said parents need to train their Children to be appreciative. Truthfully in the Mosaic law given to the Israelites,parents were told to inculcate God's law in their heart first if they are to do so in the heart of their Children. Deuteronomy 6 vs 6-7 |

Parents have a great role to play in all of these. Dis training should be started at an early age. |

I must say, I do not understand this topic fully. So, when I finish eating at home, I should go and meet my mum and dad and say thank you Is that not uncalled for and unnecessary. Same as saying when I drink water I should also say thank you to my parents I do agree on the issue of showing gratitude and saying thank you; when necessary, especially when it is money, help, and material things. |
Re: Teaching Our Children The Sense Of Gratitude. by Bibol(f): 11:40am On Sep 25, 2014 |
@OP, God bless you for this topic. I can't begin to count how many kids I've given gifts to that I had to call them back and say "Junior what are you expected to say?". Some of them just run along as if whatever you gave them or did for them is not a big deal. Parents have a long way to go in training up their kids because if you don't, they won't learn it anywhere else. And if they eventually do learn, it will be in the hard way. I have a 5 year old nephew that doesn't allow anyone to watch any other station apart from Nickledon as long as he is in front of the TV set, even visitors. He controls his parents and their emotions and when an adult tries to correct him as a child, all you hear the mother say is that she doesnt want him to cry. The way you train your child is the way they will likely behave when they grow up and are alone. So many spoilt kids everywhere ... Kids of " this generation" indeed. 1 Like |

(the true gospel: It is appointed for men to die once, but after that to face judgment. Hebrews. 9:27 βThe time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.β Mark. 1:15 You must repent. This means a complete change regarding sin. There must be a change of mind. You must admit that you are a sinner, a rebel against a holy and loving God. There must be a change of heart β genuine sorrow and shame at the vileness: and filthiness of your sin. Then you must be willing to forsake it and change the direction of your life. God challenges people to prove their repentance by their deeds (Acts 26:20). You must do this. God will not forgive any sin you are not willing to forsake. Sin is [TRANSGRESSION, LAWLESSNESS and REBELLION] against God and His Perfect Holy Moral Law. You are "Guilty" for your evil thoughts, words, and deeds β read: Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians. 5:19-20 |

I am richly blessed to be Miss Grace....I'm blessed to be raised by my loving and sweet parents.... SOme of this values our parent imparted in us are fading....Children of nowadays are growing faster....They dont want to even hear about culture and values talkless of doing it.... I think parents should do and try all their possible best to impart this into their children....Like one yoruba proverb that says 'Ati kekere latin paka iroko'....It means foundation matters alot....We should not wait till when our children becomes dried fish before we try to bend them to do our wis.......Yes My dear.

egopersonified: Thank you op, my last born is 2 and one of his first words was 'ta-tu'. Whenever you give him anything, even ordinary water to drink, he goes 'ta-tu'. It melted my heart so much that I would always look for opportunties to give him something. And there's this nanny in his daycare that when you give her just N1,000, she will thank you, when she gets home, she will call you to thank you again and for the next three days its thank you galore and I keep feeling embarassed, I always feel the thank you is more than the gift so I am always giving even when I dont have enough for myself. I also learnt on nl to say thank you, with a smile, to my husband after eating, you need to see the way his eyes light up sometimes with satisfaction.Absolutely true, you sound pretty much like my wife because I am just in same situation and also have a two years old daughter |

this post made me remember a nursery rhyme which goes thus: "learn to say please if you want anything, learn to say sorry if you hurt someone, learn to say thank you in appreciation and God will be with you" |

greatgod2012: Wow. Its so strange to come across kids as mannered as yours. May God give you the grace to keep it up. Amen. @Topic: I'm not married yet but make sure i give my all into bringing my kids up the way of the Lord. Even atimes when i just greet some strangers as simple as 'good morning', they'll walk up to me, stare at me very well and ask if i know them from somewhere while i reply not necessarily. Then they smile and say me the same or even go as far as giving a pat and begin to share stories. The society is decaying just by the day... May god help us all. Amen. 1 Like |
