Breeding Gratitude in Our Children
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?
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.

Entrepreneurship is a way of life and intelligence for me, not a title. Every project that I embark upon, my goal is to do it different or better than anyone else. It was this passion and entrepreneurial spirit that led me to start up my first business venture, a small coffee-roasting operation in the suburbs of Brisbane in 2002. I identified a gap in the coffee market. There was no local coffee company that successfully matched the quality of their products with excellent customer service and a strong brand, all at a reasonable price. This business grew from a start up to the largest of its kind in Australia before I sold it 12 years later. I strive to make my group of companies matter to customers. I want to ensure that I am relevant in the future am continually looking at innovative ways to do so. I am not limited by my available resources; I am continually looking to fill the void in the market to meet customer’s needs and solve problems. My mantra is ‘tomorrow better than today’. My goal is to continue building and improving and use our achievements to fuel our momentum and keep moving forward to bigger and better things. I never rest on the laurels of my success but continue to pursue new ventures through which to challenge myself, and seek opportunities to develop or share my skills. I continue to strive as a leader in my industry and as an entrepreneur, and am always challenging myself personally and professionally whilst ensuring to give back to community.
