When it comes to getting gifts at a party, just one in four parents say their child writes thank you cards to gift givers all the time. “To help children learn to be grateful, parents also need to emphasize why they are asking their child to say thanks.”
“There’s a difference between politeness and gratitude,” Clark says. One way of doing this is by encouraging kids to say “thank you for…” so children have to explain why they’re appreciative.
