163: Bringing Gratitude Into Your Home

Parenting in Real Life

In this episode of Parenting in Real Life, we discuss the importance of gratitude. We share practical strategies for cultivating gratitude in our homes, including daily practices and incorporating it into family conversations. We also explore ways to foster gratitude with our kids, such as using gratitude journals. There are some really great thoughts on here from the article that we found and we hope that you will choose just one to work on this month with your family as we get closer to Thanksgiving.
