In this special family episode of High Performance Parenting, Jacquie is joined by Abby and Crissy to reflect on the past year through a meaningful and faith-filled practice: 12 Months of Gratitude.

Instead of limiting gratitude to Thanksgiving or Christmas, this family chose to reflect on each month of the year, remembering milestones, challenges, growth, and God’s faithfulness along the way.

From worship team milestones and athletic perseverance to birthdays, travel, and unforgettable family moments, this conversation models how parents can teach kids to pause, reflect, and thank God for the journey — not just the highlights.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why gratitude should be practiced year round
• How reflection builds maturity and perspective in kids
• Why shared experiences strengthen sibling bonds
• How to create simple family rhythms of thankfulness
• How gratitude shifts focus from pressure to peace
