As an important moral emotion experience,gratitude is related to the development of individual moral quality,which depends on the education of gratitude to children from childhood.Children's gratitude education has distinct stage characteristics and practical characteristics in its connotation,and it needs to carry out a trinity mechanism covering gratitude cognition,emotional experience and behavior practice to ensure a complete structure of recognizing,knowing,being grateful and repaying.At the same time,children's gratitude education has inherent logical reasons,which can continue the traditional Chinese gratitude education in historical logic,practice the early cultivation of socialist core values in political logic,and promote the solution of their alienation dilemma in practical logic.Only on the basis of following the internal mechanism of gratitude education, adhering to the three dimensions of subject,content and method, and comprehensively determining its practice and innovation path,can we effectively crack the reality of alienation and improve the pertinence and effectiveness of gratitude education for children.
