How Gratitude can shape our children?

by Lokesh Dhiran, 24 Jul 2024

Gratitude is like a magic potion for kids, especially in our Indian context. It's not just a "good manners" thing; it's a superpower that can shape their personalities and outlook on life. Here's why instilling gratitude in children is a real game-changer:

  1. Positive Vibes, Desi Style: Teaching kids to be thankful helps them look at the sunny side of life. Instead of thinking about what's missing, they start appreciating what they have, bringing in those "achha vibes."

  2. Heart of Gold: Grateful kids grow up to be kind and caring individuals. They get that everyone's dealing with something, and this understanding makes them the superheroes of empathy and compassion.

  3. Bounce Back, Desi Style: Life isn't all laddoos and rainbows, but gratitude acts as a safety net. When kids can find a silver lining in tough times, they learn how to bounce back stronger than ever.

  4. No Ata-Majhi-Satakli Moments: Remember how we learned "aata majhi satakli" isn't the way to go? Gratitude helps cut down on such tantrums. Kids learn that life's goodies aren't guaranteed, which keeps those "gimme-gimme" vibes in check.

  5. Dosti Goals: Grateful kids are like magnets for friends. When they're thankful, they spread warmth and positivity that people naturally gravitate towards, building bonds that are tighter than chai and biscuits.

  6. Confident Desi Stars: Gratitude makes kids feel like Bollywood stars – confident, self-assured, and ready to shine. By focusing on the good, they realize they're the heroes of their own stories.

  7. Chill Mode ON: Stress can be like a daily saas-bahu drama, but gratitude is like the remote control. When kids appreciate the good stuff, they switch the channel from stress to chill mode.

  8. Desi Dhyan Yogis: Gratitude teaches kids to enjoy the here and now. They savor every moment like they're sipping on a cup of masala chai, making them true masters of mindfulness.

  9. Super Values: When kids are thankful, they respect the effort put into making things happen. This ethic of hard work and dedication becomes a part of their DNA, setting them up for success.

  10. Positivity Ka Tadka: Gratitude isn't just a one-time thing; it's a habit that spreads positivity like ghee on paratha. Kids who are grateful learn to see the world through a brighter lens.

Parents, uncles, aunts, teachers – you're the gurus of gratitude in these young minds. It's as simple as saying "dhanyavaad," writing down "thank yous" in a diary, or talking about what made their day awesome. By weaving gratitude into their lives, we're giving our kids the power to create a truly masaledar and fulfilling journey ahead.
