, envy and selfness. For the past decade, experts like Froh have been conducting ―gratitude interventions(干預(yù)) ‖, in which kids are encouraged to do a series of exercises, from writing a thankyou note to reciting it to make a gratitude journal. Overall, the results have been encouraging: Just in parison with adults, it seems that children bee more grateful. Yet there remains much to be learned about children and gratitude. There’s some evidence suggesting that girls are more grateful than boys. Also, Froh says that while there’s not yet any hard data, there’s possibility that a child’s ability to be grateful depends on his or her age. One study looked at gratitude and life satisfaction in kids aged 3 to 9 and found that only 7 to 9yearolds followed the example set by their parents in their ability to feel true gratitude. Most 3 to 6ycarolds don’t have the emotional development to see outside themselves enough to be truly grateful. So how do people apply these newfound scientific findings? Froh encourages parents not to mand children to express their thanks, but to let them show gratitude in whatever way is most fortable. As Froh points out, children learn best when grownups model the very behavior they’d like to sec in their kids. 29. What can we know about children who are grateful? A.
