## Resource

Gratitude is often treated like a nice family exercise, but research suggests it's far more powerful than that. In this episode of Facing the Dark , Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore a large international meta analysis showing that gratitude strengthens resilience, improves relationships, enhances sleep, and shapes character. Together, they discuss why gratitude is one of the foundational virtues parents can cultivate and how every family can practice it in ways that fit the unique ways God designed their children to learn.
