John Fuller:我认为感恩是一种可以挖掘的超能力,但我们常常忽略它。在孩子还小的时候,当他们无法如愿以偿时,这是一个教导他们感恩的好机会,让他们明白感恩可以帮助他们应对各种情况。 Danny Huerta:感恩是一种心态,我们应该以感恩的心态开始每一天。感恩不仅仅是口头上的感谢,更重要的是要有感恩的姿态,通过言语表达出来。作为父母,我们应该以身作则,营造感恩的家庭氛围。感恩有很多科学益处,包括心理、身体和关系上的福祉。此外,感恩还可以培养孩子谦卑的心。我会告诉我的孩子,要时常表达感谢,即使他们并不总是真正地感受到。我也会和我的配偶互相表达感谢,例如感谢对方洗碗、工作以及为家庭所做的一切。通过大声表达感谢,我们可以在家庭中营造一种感恩的文化。 Stephanie Thurling:我们家喜欢玩“感恩游戏”,这是一种简单的方式,通过分享感谢上帝的事物来转变情绪。例如,轮流说出感谢上帝的A到Z的事物。在任何情况下都要喜乐、祷告和感恩,这是上帝对我们人生的旨意。我们还使用“纸链祷告”,这是一种视觉提醒,帮助孩子们记住为他人祷告。我会和孩子们一起制作纸链,每一环写上一个祷告事项,然后每天取下一环,为上面写的人或事祷告。通过在小事上练习感恩,可以在经历人生风暴时更容易地赞美神。 Sarah Holmstrom:我认为纸链祷告的关键在于帮助孩子们理解祷告的意义,而不在于形式。应该让祷告变得有趣,以适应孩子们不同的学习方式。我鼓励父母们尝试不同的方法来教导孩子祷告,例如使用纸链、雪花等有趣的工具,让孩子们在玩乐中学习祷告。重要的是要让孩子们明白,祷告是一种与上帝沟通的方式,而不是一种任务或负担。
