YOGYAKARTA There are so many ways to be happy. Both for adults and children, it turns out that gratitude contributes greatly to feelings of sufficient and prosperous. If you want to create happiness for children, just appreciate what they have. Why? This is the reason.

Giving them, dear children, gift is an award. But teaching them to be grateful can also encourage happiness. According to research reported by Parents, Wednesday, November 3, Jeffrey Froh said that there is a strong relationship between gratitude and happiness.

In the study, participants were asked to note five things they were grateful for for for 10 weeks. Every day, they make a list of good things, and the amazingness is very simple. The list, among others, sunsets, calls from a friend, and perfect ice cream. As a result of this research, their happiness increased 25 percent at the end of the study.

Froh explained, gratitude is about enjoying the past, now, and also the future. He analogizes it as squeezing the juice from life and extracting everything we can. For children's happiness, teach them to express the good things they are experiencing. For example, when they get special gifts, figure out what they are or how happy they are, teach them how to express them. This will help them absorb positive feelings.

In addition to expressing positive feelings, also teach about fun plans that will come. If the weekend plans a vacation to your little one's favorite place, describe it in one sign, such as a poster or portrait.

In addition, share your appreciation marks. For example with stickers, photo prints, or small gifts. This will make the children happy and happy because whatever they have is appreciated by their loved ones. In fact, they can share their positive happiness with others with their smile or positive energy.
