Happiness is a difficult thing to define especially that people have different measures of the word. Happiness could be in any form. Material things, contentment, pleasure, satisfaction and achievement are just a few of the many sources and reasons for a happy life. Children should be taught to be happy individuals so that they could face life’s challenges ahead with optimism.

When children are happy, they are more likely to be stronger during failures and hard times. They will give color to the world as they see hope in everything they find. Opportunities come to those happy people and they should develop to find happiness in any form early on.

Positive atmosphere induces positive behavior. Develop that happy child at home, in school or anywhere through the following 5 steps:

#1 Establish connections. The sense of belongingness provides children the security they need. Unconditional love from parents and siblings is something that strengthens the connection bond of each family member. The sense of belongingness helps children develop their talents, find their passion and become the best that they can be.

#2 Let children play. Play develops not just the physical aspects of the well-being but also virtues and innovations. During play, children are honed to make use of their resources. As they see hope in everything around them, they also find happiness.

#3 Sense of accomplishment could be achieved when parents give their children the chance to do routine work. Practice will not only make things excellent but will also create the drive to be better next time. During practice, the child’s aim to be minimizing mistakes will help in developing a positive attitude towards harder tasks.




#4 Mastery. Let children achieve a skill and be able to utilize it fully. Let children stick to an activity and cease only when mastery is evident in the results.

#5 Parents together with siblings, peers and teachers should be able to instill a sense of recognition to children. Identify the positive behavior and be able to show how much you appreciate your child doing them.

A happy child is a spring of a great life. When children are happy, they are more likely to become better individuals who would never suffer the stress out of trials and problems. They will be able to face failures and achieve the drive to move further and better. Happy parents are sources of happy kids. Show them how calm and optimistic you are when dealing with problems.
