If you are a teenager, or you have one or more in your home, we know that it can be a confusing, frustrating and bewildering time. Put simply, it is a tough transition going from being a child to taking on adult responsibilities. For teenagers, sometimes, it might feel like your brain is just not ready to take everything on. Other times, you might feel impatient to be an adult already! This push and pull is stressful and often downright exhausting.

Cultivating gratitude in your home will not only boost your mood and make you feel more at peace, but will also build these life-long skills in your children. Springboard’s Cristina Magrina recently shared tips for teaching your children gratitude in a Today’s Parent article.
