Ginger Hubbard
About this episode

Do your kids grumble and complain instead of looking for ways to be thankful? Are you concerned that the influx of presents during the holiday season will lead your kids to a sense of entitlement rather than a heart of gratitude? Join Ginger Hubbard and Katy Morgan, along with special guest Ruth Chou Simons, as they talk about some practical ways we can encourage our kids to live in thankfulness and how we can model an attitude of gratitude.
