"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." -- William Arthur Ward
As parents, we desire that our kids appreciate what they have
and are willing to be of service.
Awhile back, I sat down with my dear friends and colleagues, Ricardo Flores-Clar
and Angela Woodrow for an amazing “Wise Parents, Wise Kids” video chat on this.
We talked about fostering an “attitude of gratitude” and internalizing
it. Then we moved on to look at wonderful
yet simple ideas for putting our gratefulness into action. Listen in to hear, among other things,
stories about a “High Five Fest”, a family in El Salvador who gives back to the
homeless, and a magical moment when Angie’s kids invited their friends into
their family gatherings.
“Gratitude should not just be a reaction to getting what you
want, but an all-the-time gratitude, the kind where you notice the little
things and where you constantly look for the good…” --Marelisa Fabrega
Good habits become great traditions, fostering awareness and
a spirit of gratitude. If you do these
things often enough, they become ingrained in who you are, even spreading
outside the family to help make our world a better place.
I’ve got to say this is one of my favorite “Wise Parents,
Wise Kids” video chats ever! Not only will
you come away with ideas, you’ll enjoy and feel inspired. So grab your favorite beverage, a pen and
