It can be incredibly fulfilling to watch our kids open their gifts, to see their eyes light up, and to know that they really enjoyed what they received. But sometimes, instead of appreciating what they have, kids might mumble a quick “thanks” and then look for more… or they might compare their stuff to others’ stuff and start complaining about what they didn’t get. And while we encourage them to be more grateful, we usually don’t see long-term results until we address what’s causing their lack of gratitude to begin with.
