Using 谢谢妈妈
谢谢 is “thank you” and 妈妈 is “mom” — 谢谢妈妈 is the natural opener for a child's thank-you note, Mother's Day card, or bedtime gratitude. It also works in the moment: after breakfast, after help with homework, after being picked up from practice.
In Traditional Chinese it is 謝謝媽媽: 谢→謝 and 妈→媽. A longer sentence for growing writers: 谢谢妈妈做的饭 (“thanks for the meal, mom”) or 谢谢妈妈,我爱你 (“thank you, mom — I love you”). The same frame swaps to 谢谢爸爸 for dad.
