Dr. Jessica Peck: What if gratitude isn't just something we teach our children to say, but a way we teach them to see the world? Deuteronomy 15:10 calls us to give generously and not let our hearts become hard. Gratitude shifts our attention from what we lack to what we've been given, and it naturally makes room for generosity, compassion and joy. Build gratitude into everyday family life. At the dinner table, name something you're thankful for. Encourage children to write thank you notes. Notice people who help them and look for opportunities to share what they have. When disappointment comes, don't dismiss it with you should be grateful. Instead, acknowledge the disappointment and help our kids notice what is still good. Gratitude is caught more than it's taught. Our children are listening to how we talk about it, so think. Are we raising children who simply have more or children who recognize what they've been given and respond with grateful hearts? Think about it and I'll see you on the Doctor Nurse Mama show here on American Family Radio.
