This week, Jenna and Jenelle attempt to tackle the tough topic of raising grateful kids.  Parents often assume their kids should just be grateful for all the opportunity and privilege they have but gratitude is a learned experience and is actually very unnatural to small children.  They can’t be expected to jump for joy at every sweater Grandma gives them for Christmas.  In fact, they are more likely to be over-stimulated at holidays and have a much less desirable reaction.  So how do we turn these “greedy little animals” into appreciative, generous, empathetic beings? Who knows, but Jenna and Jenelle have some jumping off points to help get you started.  Jenna will dive into her nightly gratitude ritual, and how she mindfully eats in order to feel more grateful regularly. Jenelle will realize she spends approximately zero minutes being mindful or grateful per day.  Which side do you fall on? And do you think it trickles down to your kids?
