How Do I Build Gratitude With My Child Whose Cup is Always Half-Empty?

Have you ever organized a day out with all the things your child enjoys only to find them grumpy and telling you they want to go home? Yep… it’s happened to me too! As adults, you might see this as ungratefulness or plain rudeness – but there is something else going on here. Dr Martha walks you through why children appear ungrateful and what is realistically happening, along with what you can do in the moment and outside of these times to build a practice of gratitude.
