Emmons, Ph.D<b>.<\/b>, the world\u2019s leading scientific expert on gratitude, writes: \u201c<i>You literally cannot overplay the hand of gratitude; the grateful mind reaps massive benefits in every domain of life that has been examined so far.

The \u201cgratitude experience\u201d also contributes to feelings of connectedness, relationships, and better physical health.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Amy L. Eva, Ph.D., the associate education director at the Greater Good Science Center, writes that \u201c<i>you can\u2019t teach gratitude practices in a vacuum\u2014especially to teens&#8230;.Teens tend to respond more positively to lessons and <\/i><i>activities <\/i><i>that help them understand themselves and connect with peers&#8230;.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>In her article, \u201cHow to Teach Gratitude to Tweens and Teens,\u201d she cites a special curriculum that offers insights for authentically nurturing gratitude in students (Greater Good Science Center\u2019s website). Dr. Eva writes that there are three key ways to teach gratitude to children and youth.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1. <b>Exploring identity. <\/b><i>Identity development remains the central developmental task for adolescents, and this curriculum helps facilitate that by allowing students to explore their <\/i><i>character strengths <\/i><i>(e.g., traits like honesty, curiosity, perseverance, humility.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>2. <b>Capitalizing on strengths. <\/b>A <i>gratitude curriculum that builds on strengths is a wonderful counter to <\/i><i>focusing on students\u2019 perceived deficits<\/i>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3. <b>Building positive relationships. <\/b><i>Once they know their strengths, students can leverage them to connect more deeply with others and to do good\u2014in school and beyond<\/i>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #0f3647\" href=\"http:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/character\/files\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-04-at-10.35.09-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-369 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/character\/files\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-04-at-10.35.09-AM-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/character\/files\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-04-at-10.35.09-AM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/character\/files\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-04-at-10.35.09-AM.png 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/a>Two of the first researchers to study gratitude among youth were Jeffrey Froh (Hofstra University) and Giacomo Bono (CSU-Dominguez Hills). They have worked with thousands of children and adolescents across the United States. In a recent study they found <i>\u201cthat teens who had high levels of gratitude when entering high school had less negative emotions and depression and more positive emotions, life satisfaction, and happiness four years later when they were finishing high school. They also had more hope and a stronger sense of meaning in life.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Researchers Froh and Bono note that there are some specific practices that teachers can use in their classrooms. Here are two examples:<\/p>\n<p>1. One practice is keeping a <b>gratitude journal<\/b>. \u201c<i>We asked middle school students simply to list five things for which there were grateful daily for two weeks, and we compared these stude<\/i><i>nts to others who were writing about hassles in their life or basic daily life events&#8230;.Most significantly, compared to the other students, gratitude journalers reported more satisfaction with their school experience immediately after the two-week period, a result that held up even three weeks later.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>2. Another practice is what they call the <b>gratitude visit<\/b>. In this exercise they had students \u201c<i>write a letter to someone who had helped them but whom they\u2019d never properly thanked; the students <\/i><i>read <\/i><i>their letter to him or her in person, then later discuss their experience with others who also completed a gratitude visit.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>I found three excellent resources for helping teach and nurture gratitude. The first\u2014check out the ideas described in the \u201cGratitude Works Program\u201d sponsored by the National Association of School Psychologists (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasponline.org\">www.nasponline.org<\/a>). A second excellent resource, offered byThe Greater Good Science Center, is \u201cNurturing Gratitude from the Inside Out: 30 Activities for Grades K-8 \u201cin which the curriculum includes 30 activities for grades K\u20138. For a third informative and<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>useful resource, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/characterlab.org\/gratitude\">characterlab.org\/gratitude<\/a> for a 14-page booklet on the \u201cWhy &amp; How\u201d and several instructional activities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll end this blog with a strategy that you, as the teacher, can modify to meet your and your students\u2019 needs and interests. I like sharing quotes with students and others.
