‘Tis not just the season for giving and giving thanks. ‘Tis the season for parents to wonder why their kids are acting like... well... entitled little jerks.  

It’s a complaint we hear regularly: As we enter the much-anticipated holiday season, rather than feeling love and contentedness from our little ones, parents are blown away by a barrage of gift demands and shopping “needs." The turkey gets cold as teens prepare to rush stores for the newly expanded “Black Friday," as sure a sign as any that gratitude in the US has lost out to consumerism. The spirit of Christmas (or Hanukkah, or any of the other winter holidays) has become no less materialistic. 

But at the same time that culture is pushing kids to want, want, want, there is a growing body of research showing that gratitude for what one already has is a huge component for kids of not just happiness, but of physical health, life satisfaction, and even grade point average.

So what’s a parent to do? How does one foster gratitude in children, not just for the holidays but for the whole year? Never fear – we’ve read a bunch of the research and have come up with our top five tips for fostering gratitude in kids.
