Those are big, vague words, after all.Īt my house, four thank-you notes were written and the confirmation gifts they represented were burning a hole in Joe's pocket. Our commentary on the unselfish behavior of others - neutral because it does not reflect on their own shortcomings - can illustrate for our kids what we mean by generosity and gratitude. Most often, we bark at our kids for all the things they do not do when a gushy thank-you for their contributions to the commonweal or their expressions of unselfishness would better serve to re-enforce that behavior in them. What are we left with? The example of our own gratitude toward them. Our harsh lectures will make them feel angry, defensive or resentful - but not grateful. Even if we are sure our children have no sense of how lucky they are, we certainly can't scold them until they do. You can tell your child that gift-giving that goes unacknowledged might cease altogether.īut it is much more difficult to bring a child to the place where they are genuinely touched by the expression of love that the gift often represents. You can explain that the thank-you note is the flip side of gift-giving to mark an occasion, and that both are expected behaviors and social graces and the duty of members of a family or a community. You can be a role model and write your own thank-you notes in full view of the family. You can tell reluctant older children that they may not play the video game or spend the money until the thank-you note for it is written. You can purchase colorful paper, stamps and markers and engender the thank-you note habit at a very young age. Thank-you notes from children go a long way toward smoothing away the impression that all they care about is themselves, but it does nothing to change the fact that all they care about is themselves. Left to their own meager devices children or anyone else will accept all kinds of offerings as no more than their due without the least thought of expressing genuine pleasure in them, much less simulating pleasure when there is none as a way of showing appreciation for the spirit of the giver, if not for the item chosen." "This, unfortunately, does not come naturally. "The purpose of a thank-you letter is not only, as some people seem to believe, to force a payment in labor in exchange for a present, but to allow the giver to know that his generosity has been appreciated," writes Judith Martin, in her book "Miss Manner's Guide to Rearing Perfect Children." Thank-you notes are a great pain for the doer and the enforcer and, though I am sure the receiver is delighted and draws optimistic conclusions about the character of the young writer and the reverence for old values evident in the writer's mother, I fear something crucial is lost in this transaction: the relationship between generosity and gratitude.
