Raising Happy Children
Last night (August 1, 2005) I spoke to an audience of parents (and some teachers) about raising happy children. Although most of my presentation centred around my “CHOOSE to be happy” philosophy (in which the letters of “CHOOSE” stand for: Clarify your goals, Healthy Living, Optimism, Others, Strengths and Enjoy the moment) I also discussed my strong belief that to raise happy children we first need to be happy parents.
First things first, then. Help yourself to be happy and you can then help others. Be happy and behave happily and you can model happiness for others (including your children).
I’ve since received numerous compliments and several invitations to speak at other events so my message must have been well received. If you’d like to read more about “Raising Happy Children” check out my new eBook in the products section of this site. And if you’d like to make any comments in this posting…go right ahead. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Exceptional Work Dr Happy
I used the Lecture the very next morning..
Had everyone in the house laughing their heads off.
Dr Happy should make a career out of this Happy stuff .
But at “present” it looks like a pretty good hobby.
With Kids between 3-6 Dr Happy’s cred was a bit low for the
critical years 10-18.
When the Oestrogen, Progesterone and testestone starts talkin…
that’s when I feel like walkin…
Ever thought of surveying kids on happiness at various intervals.
Preferably yearly ( not seven up)
before us adults condition them in our “funny” frameworks.

I have three takers when it is going.

Thanks for the “exceptional work” compliment and as for the Kids’ Course…?
Well, we’ve actually had a bit of interest in this recently and are currently exploring alternatives for running workshops during school holidays. As always, we’ll keep you posted via our free eNewsletter.
