Show Notes
We all want our kids to be grateful when we give them wonderful experiences in life, and it can be alarming when they not only don’t show gratitude, but are full of complaints. In this episode, we address this issue and discuss how we can cultivate gratitude without layering on guilt for our kids.
We also talk about one of our most common questions ever: yelling. It is sooooo easy to get caught up in the habit of yelling, and sometimes we can feel trapped because we don’t know how else to get our kids to listen. We give several concrete strategies to help this common issue, not just a philosophical discussion on the topic.

Review of the week from amber3llen:
I found this podcast a few months ago andI have been binging it ever since! I was definitely in a funk ever since having my first baby in 2020 and listening to this podcast has truly helped me so much.
