Gratitude is an emotion that comes from appreciation when one receives a personal gift or benefit due to the good intentions of another person. Positive psychologists contend that gratitude is more than feeling thankful for something, it is more like a deeper appreciation for someone or something, which produces longer lasting positivity. It was found that grateful people have greater intensity of grateful feelings; more frequently to be elicited grateful feelings; wider span of things that to be grateful for at one time; and more people they can be grateful for.

​Gratitude might not come naturally in some people. People are grateful if they are aware of and thankful of the good things that happen to them and they express thanks to them. Thus, we can learn gratitude from people around us. Parents, peers, teachers, and other adults aid children's emotional understanding via conversations and structured activities which instill grateful feelings. Let them understand the rationale of saying "thank you" to things around. Recognising what you are grateful for, acknowledging it, and appreciating it. The benefits of practising gratitude can be significant.
