Raising Good Humans

CHAPTER

Toxic Positivity

The concept of gratitude is often lumped together with toxic positivity. When gratitude or positivity are weaponized, they're going to feel dismissive and make people feel bad about themselves. What i like to point out is that if you want gratitude to be effective, you can't use shame to induce it. You can't force a child or yourself to feel gratefulrt or to feel anything reallynd and coming to terms with that is probably one of our bigger gifts, that we can't force feelings on anyone.
