To learn to care, you need to be grateful first.

On the way home from kindergarten, my mother bought some red apples at the fruit stall by the side of the road. When I got home, after washing the apples, my mother asked Jiajia to share the apples among us. Jia Jia gave one to her father and one to her mother, but when she came to her grandmother, Jia Jia hesitated and walked away. My mother was very puzzled and asked Jiajia why she didn't give her grandmother apples. Jiajia said, "Grandma has bad teeth and can't eat them." It turned out that because Grandma loved her granddaughter, all the delicious food at home was left to Jiajia. When Jiajia gave it to Grandma, Grandma always put off her bad teeth and couldn't eat them. After a long time, Jiajia really thought that Grandma had bad teeth.

In today's China, most urban children are only children. Although they have an advantage in intellectual and physical development, they also lack the opportunity to care about and share with others. If parents and grandparents also ignore the education of love, then children may not know how to care about others and learn to share.

Parents can refer to the following suggestions on how to teach their children to care about others:

1. To learn to care needs to learn to be grateful first. Let the child learn to be grateful is the premise of cultivating the child's love, first of all, let him feel the love given to him by his parents and other elders. For example, children can help with housework and feel the tiredness of their parents; they can also visit their parents' working environment and let them know how hard their parents are at work. Only when children feel the hardships and hard work of their parents can they have a grateful heart.

2. Give full play to the role of example. Parents should first set an example to create a friendly and caring family atmosphere for their children. The influence of mutual concern between husband and wife on children is imperceptible and far-reaching, and it is also the best edification for children to care about others, and filial piety to the elderly is also a good example and demonstration for children.

3. Encourage and praise children's behavior of caring for others in time. When children show filial piety to the elderly, care for parents, help children and other behaviors, parents should give timely recognition and reward, which can not only strengthen the child's good behavior, but also make the child experience the fun of caring and helping others.
