Why We Say Thank You

Our “Why We Say Thank You” social story helps children understand when and why we express appreciation.

Why We Say Thank You When someone does something for me or shows me kindness, I can express my gratitude by saying or signing “Thank you!” We express our gratitude to others because it shows them we appreciate the efforts they have made. When I say “Thank you” to someone, it makes them feel valued and can make them feel happier. They might say or sign “You’re welcome” when I thank them, which means they were happy to help or provide the services they did. There are many reasons I could thank someone, like: My mom helps me put my shoes on. A friend shares their toys with me. A waiter brings our food to the table. My family member gives me a present. Someone says they like my shirt. When I do something kind for someone else, they may thank me as well. If they thank me, I can say or sign “You’re welcome” to let them know I accept their appreciation. Being kind to others and expressing my gratitude when they are kind to me strengthens my relationships with those around me. Remembering to say “Thank you” is a simple way to show my appreciation!Download Now!
