The Birthday Blessing: Training Kids to Be Thankful | Episode 433

from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith

Children are naturally self-focused, but thankfulness is a skill that can be taught. Dr. Roger Smith shares a powerful family tradition—the "Birthday Blessing"—that trained his children to move from self-centeredness to generosity of spirit. Learn how to implement this simple practice where every family member shares what they value and appreciate about the birthday person. This exercise in expressing positive, specific words to people you can see is the perfect foundation for developing a lifelong attitude of gratitude that extends to all areas of life.
