Tonight, Ryan talked gratitude, an apt topic for Thanksgiving week. Gratitude is a virtue that anyone can cultivate, according to Dr. Jeffrey Froh, co-author of Making Grateful Kids, whose interview we heard on the show tonight. His tools for making grateful kids can be used from infancy to troubled-teenagerhood. We learned that recognizing gifts is a skill that can be learned at an early age, and it helps kids to process the things that make them feel grateful. Teaching (and learning!) gratitude can even make you happier.
