In this episode, Max and Matt tackle one of the trickiest challenges of parenting—striking the balance between giving your kids a great life and ensuring they develop gratitude.

It’s not as simple as just saying, “Be grateful,” and they share their own struggles with finding that delicate balance. Let's go!
