I\u2019m super excited to be joining in\u00a0a blog hop all about gratitude, inspired by\u00a0Kristen Welch<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0amazing new book,\u00a0Raising Grateful Kids.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You know I love me a good printable, so I made this one for you, featuring one of my MANY\u00a0favorite quotes from the book.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a mother of a young toddler, I worry that I somehow will forget to instill gratitude into my little one. On top of all the day to day tasks and things vying for my attention, it can be hard to practice the gratefulness that I want my son to see. But, by printing this out,\u00a0I can use\u00a0it as a reminder, that more than anything else in the world- he needs me. He doesn\u2019t need the latest toys and gadgets. Those things will easily break or quickly be forgotten.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As he grows older he will learn by my attitude toward how I respond to things. And how can I expect him to be grateful if I don\u2019t practice it in my day to day life? So, by practicing gratitude, and making myself available to him, I can raise him not to be entitled. By not letting technology steal me from him, and always making sure I am extra thankful for even the littlest things, he will raised to be gracious.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And in such an overly entitled world, this may be one of the most important lessons I teach him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I hope you print this out and hang it in your office, place it in your journal, or tape it to your mirror (anywhere you will see it on a regular basis). As a tiny reminder- they need you more than ANYTHING.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And, if you\u2019re a parent- definitely pick up this book. It will be an excellent\u00a0reference to turn to in your parenting journey. We all know this is the hardest job in the world, and we need all the help we can get!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Raising Grateful Kids<\/a>\u00a0will be available January 26th- but you can pre-order it now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
