5 Things that will Make Your Kid Happy
If you are a mother, then you probably already know that the thing that you want most in the world is happiness for your child. But just how would you know as to what exactly is going to make your child happy? This is something which differs from one kid to the other, but there are a few facts that remain common to all kids.
1. Get him connected
According to Dr. Edward Hallowell, MD, a child psychiatrist, the best way to promote your child’s lifelong emotional well-being is by keeping him connected – to you, other family members, neighbors, pets, and every living being he comes across in his day to day life. It develops a feeling of being loved, wanted and acknowledged within him.
2. Think long-term
Adhering to every demand of your child at an early stage in life may make him happy for the moment, but it is going to have a devastating effect on his future. The real world is not so easy. People have to fight and prove their worth for everything. The more your child is prepared for that, the happier is he going to be in the long run.
3. Cultivate your own happiness
While, as a mother, you may not have direct control over your kid’s happiness, you do have control over your own. Children of depressed parents suffer twice the average rate of depression, whereas, happy parents tend to leave a happy vibe across the house, which eventually leads to happy kids.
