Hoe doe je deze activiteit

Waarom het werkt
Regular expression of gratitude in family settings enhances parent-child communication quality and emotional intimacy (Watkins et al., 2003). Adults who regularly express appreciation report stronger emotional bonds and higher relationship satisfaction (Emmons & McCullough, 2003). Starting this practice early, even with limited understanding, establishes positive relational patterns that children carry forward.
Tips voor ouders
Start by modeling what appreciation sounds like. Your child will learn by hearing you.
If your child repeats what you said, that's perfectly fine. Repetition helps them learn the pattern of expressing gratitude.
