Hi Parental Units! Welcome to a Turkey Week edition of The Stop Parenting & Start Coaching Podcast!!

We are THANKFUL to those of you who have been with us since the start of this over a year ago AND to those who have just found us. This podcast is for parents of teen athletes and performers who are engaged in the hardest job on planet earth: parenting!

In EP 72 we explore the concept of gratitude, particularly in the context of parenting and personal relationships with your teens. We hit on the importance of genuine gratitude, by discussing what a developmental psychologist (Dr. Janae Nelson) labels as "shallow gratitude."

What does shallow gratitude mean to you? And, how could it be sending the wrong message to your teens if it is how you are modeling and practicing gratitude (we know you're not!!)?

Some helpful insights from EP 72 to grab onto:

-Gratitude can be practiced at different levels.

-Shallow gratitude lacks a connection to the giver.

-Expressing gratitude to children reinforces positive behavior.

-Handwritten notes create deeper connections.

-Gratitude helps combat stress .

-Face-to-face gratitude can lead to stronger relationships.

Moms & Dads: Let's. Get. Grateful. And, let's get grateful at a very high level!!
