Here we are! The holidays. 

Uncle Tom wants to talk politics during the holiday dinner.

Your middle schooler is experiencing end-of-semester breakdowns.
And, your to-do list never ends. 

From holiday shopping, to work, to bills, and cooking family meals - you've got a lot on your plate this time of year.

Well, I've got the antidote for you!

First, I'll share the science of how gratitude affects the very real anxiety you and your early adolescent might be feeling. And, second, I'll share simple ways you can cultivate a gratitude practice in your life. 

Think: the middle of t-giving dinner and Uncle Tom starts spouting off his political views...and you have tools to turn to in that moment!
