Gratitude is a virtue that has received a LOT of attention from researchers in the past decade or thereabouts. It seems as though the most sure-fire way for many people to become happier is to be grateful. And because gratitude is such a simple concept for most people to understand (and because most people are fairly grateful anyway), it is a simple principle to practice in family life to improve everyone’s wellbeing, and make our families happier.
Show notes
How can gratitude make your family happier? In this episode I suggest that parents:
* Model grateful behaviour
* Have conversations about grateful things
* Create a gratitude tree
* Carry a gratitude rock
* Keep a gratitude diary/journal
