As you may be aware from previous podcasts, Phil is dad to a 14yr old daughter and a 12yr Son. One of the many subjects that Phil and his wife cover with their children is Gratitude and how it is important.Carole Dweck is a great resource for discovering the growth mindset.Children are sponges, and what they see us do, they will mimic and learn from.If your child is not ‘performing' to expectations, it usually is because what they are doing is what we ourselves as adults have shown them.So, how do we breed gratitude into our children?Teach and show your children how. Actions speak louder than words.When you are out with your children, pause and take note of different things, and ask them to list a reason why they are grateful for that thing.Teach them that it doesn't matter who the person is, but to show thanks and to say thanks at any given opportunity.Listen in to Phil as he talks us through different ideas and tactics we can embrace, to help our children breed gratitude.Send us your comments and questions to our Facebook page Facebook.com/FlashCastByPDB or to ask@flashcastbypdb.com.
