Hey, Mama-Friend!
I know how it is! My kids just got all the toys in the world for Christmas and they are still left wanting MORE! They are unsatisfied, yet again, but have you ever stopped to wonder why that is?
Our kids get so wrapped up in the things that they WANT and think will make them happy, that they lose focus on the things that they have right in front of them.
I’d like to call it the sweater phenomenon…I’ll explain. This is where we look in our closets that are FULL of clothes, yet we think we have NOTHING to wear. It’s the same for our kids. They look in their toy boxes and think they have NOTHING to play with! Well, we can’t very well be mad at them for saying that, when we say the same thing ourselves when it comes to never having enough clothes in the closet or food in the pantry!
How do I help my kids learn to appreciate the things they have? I think it all starts with creating an attitude of appreciation and gratitude OURSELVES before we can expect our kids to show any sort of appreciation for the things that they have, and it’s all about finding balance, mama-friend!
We have to constantly reflect: How am I modeling the fact that I appreciate the little things? Am I complaining about never having enough or even being unsatisfied when I’m serving my family? What are my kids hearing ME say on a daily basis?
That all plays a role in creating an attitude of gratitude and an environment of appreciation, which is what we are diving into today!
Thanks for listening, and as always, if you love the episode, I’d love for you to leave a review!
