Why Gratitude Matters for Our Children
Parenting 11 to 16 year olds can feel like walking on eggshells - eye-rolls, slammed doors, endless complaints.
But what if your child had a tool that literally rewires their brain to:
-
notice the good,
-
calm down faster,
-
sleep better,
-
and bounce back from stress?
Research from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center shows gratitude practices lower stress hormones, improve sleep quality, and boost motivation in teens.
And here’s the kicker: when pre/teens understand how their brain works, they feel less shame, more self-compassion, and more motivation to grow. Gratitude is one of the simplest entry points.
For Parents Like You
You want your child to…
-
Be less reactive, more reflective.
-
Build inner resilience for when life gets tough.
-
Feel happier and more connected at home.
And you’re not alone. So many parents share that they struggle to “get through” to their pre/teen. Gratitude is a small but powerful way to reopen that door.
One parent put it perfectly:
“I didn’t think my son would do it - but he actually liked the Gratitude Compass. He even started writing down things about his mates instead of just complaining. It’s a small win, but it feels huge.”
