How to raise happy kids

Dr Leonaura Rhodes, Neighbor

Where does happiness come from? It is the creation of your brain and mind! It is all about personal perception and the way your brain is functioning. If you perceive that life is good and your brain is working well: you will be happy. If you perceive that there is something missing or broken in your life AND/ OR your brain is not working well: you are likely to be unhappy.

Your happiness affects your ability to be healthy, to have positive relationships, to be successful and productive and ultimately your longevity!
Brain health is a balancing act, between reducing health liabilities (things that are bad for your brain) and increasing health assets (things that are good for your brain).

If you are a parent, you are the number one "happiness role model" for your children. If you are unhappy your children are more likely to be unhappy. So I always tell parents, you must improve your own happiness before you can even begin, to improve the happiness of your children. Then you will be in a much better position to meet their needs and to take steps towards guiding them towards happiness.
