BE APPECIATIVE
Published: 15 January 2018 – 9.25 a.m.
By Medina A.D.

Hasnah goes out of her way to give her daughter, Mira, everything she never had as a
child. To her surprise, this approach had backfired. Mira is not appreciative. “Buy her a
simple mobile phone, she wants a branded smartphone. She is only nine and she demands
only the most expensive things,” said Hasnah.
“Mira is a child who does not appreciate what she has and it is not a healthy practice,”
said a child therapist, Dr. Azwan. He advised children to appreciate what they have.
He said that there are many ways children can learn to be appreciative. First, before
they go to bed, they should list the things they are most grateful for that day. Second,
children must learn to be thankful. For example, thanking their parents, friends, the
postman or the bus driver. Most importantly, they should be thankful for the little things
they have such as food, clothes, and shelter.
Parents play an important role in teaching children to be appreciative. They can
encourage their children to read stories with good values or watching inspiring movies.
These would help them to be grateful for what they have.
