5. Work on Their Social Skills If your child interacts with people well, they will make happy relationships. Many kids are depressed and annoyed from a small age as they are unable to make friends. Having good friends and good relations with people contribute to kids’ happiness. To set an example you must show them how you interact with friends. As parents you must be social and friendly to all for your child to imbibe that.
Let us take a look at the dos of raising a happy child.
1. Avoid Too Much of Pampering Do not pamper your child excessively. Do not fulfill their unreasonable demands. Make them understand that they will get anything or everything they want. Teach them that they need to work hard to achieve things in life.Your kids should be aware of the kind of difficulties they may face. Life is not a bed of roses. Your kid will encounter many negative stimuli and situations in their life. Educate them about it to prepare them.
2. Do Not Mollycoddle Them Always You might want your happy kid tobe comfortable and not face any negativity, but that is a wrong notion. Let your kid fail in things, let them get hurt. The only way you can ensure that your kid will be happy in future is if you let them face difficulties. Failure should not devastate them entirely. They must learn to meet failure with a smile.
3. Do Not Compare and Judge your Kid Parents need to mould their kids’ behaviour. Try to encourage the good ones and reprimand when you do not like it. Kids will understand. Never try to make a comparison between them and their peers. Do not reprimand them as they cannot do as well as the others. This makes a child depressed and sad for life.
As you can see it is entirely the parents’ attitude and behaviour that leads to a child being happy or sad. Parents who are critical and abusiveraise children who are unhappy and cranky. From their very childhood parents need to imbibe positivity and the power to be happy throughout their life
