Raising Grateful Kids

Gratitude isn’t just about saying thank you—it’s about cultivating a mindset of appreciation for the little things, the big things, and everything in between. When we practice gratitude as parents, we model a powerful life skill for our kids: one that builds empathy, resilience, joy, and connection.

In this solo episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, I’m sharing simple, practical ways to weave gratitude into your daily routine—both for yourself and for your kids. Whether it’s through journals, family rituals, or small daily pauses, these practices can shift the energy in your home and help your kids grow up with a grateful heart.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Easy gratitude practices for parents (journals, mindful pauses, gratitude alarms, and more)
• Creative and fun ways to help kids express gratitude (jars, bedtime rituals, thank-you notes)
• How to build family traditions around gratitude (mealtime sharing, gratitude boards, vision-board style practices)
• Why gratitude is especially important during hard times—and how to teach kids that they can feel challenges and thankfulness at the same time

Gratitude is a muscle, mama—and the more we use it, the stronger it gets. Start small, stay consistent, and watch how gratitude shifts the way you parent, the way your kids see the world, and the way your whole family connects.
