10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents

What do we wish most for our children?

Next to being healthy, we want them to be happy, of course. Fortunately, a wide array of scientific studies show that happiness is a learned behavior, a muscle that we can help our children build and maintain.

Drawing on what psychology, sociology, and neuroscience have proven about confidence, gratefulness, and optimism, and using her own chaotic and often hilarious real world ad- ventures as a mom to demonstrate do's and don'ts in action, Christine Carter, PhD, will give us simple steps for raising happier children. At this talk, you will learn how to:

Praise kids in a way that will help them stay engaged in school and their activities Combat entitlement and brattiness--with gratitude
Capture the power of family mealtime

Christine Carter, Ph.D., teaches online happiness classes that help parents bring more joy into their own lives and the lives of their children, and she writes an award-winning blog for UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.
