dhaani "Gratitude, like love, is not an obligation" Professor Jonathan Tudge - Episode 21
Jonathan Tudge was educated at the universities of Lancaster and Oxford (UK) and Cornell (USA), and is a professor of human development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA. He has long been interested in the relations among culture, everyday activities and interactions, and development. His books include The Everyday Lives of Young Children: Culture, Class, and Child Rearing in Diverse Countries (Cambridge University Press, 2008), and he has co-edited two other books related to culture and youth development. With Lia Freitas (professor of psychology at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) he has been studying the development of gratitude in children and adolescents for the past decade, with generous support from the John Templeton Foundation. Their most recent book is Developing Gratitude in Children and Adolescents (Cambridge University Press, 2018).
Our chat was most intuitive and conscious talking about different ways, forms and levels of gratitude. Cultural differences in the expression of gratitude and how Professor Tudge is making efforts to inculcate the practise of conscious gratitude in young children and adolescents. We also talk about how gratitude can help the societies to move from 'Me centered' to 'Us centered.' And in the process create a sense of wellness globally.
