3 Secrets to Raising Grateful Kids

In this episode of "Unruffled," Janet Lansbury addresses the issue of children's perceived ungratefulness, particularly during the holiday season. Drawing from a parent's question, she explores why children may not always express gratitude as expected, attributing it to their heightened sensitivity to stimulation and stress. Lansbury offers three key strategies: understanding children's unique sensitivities, slowing down activities to create balance, and allowing children to express and process their feelings of disappointment without interference. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing overstimulation as a root cause of unappreciative behavior and encourages parents to shift their expectations and responses to foster genuine gratitude in their children.
