Kids learn a lot about how they should feel about things from living with and watching YOU. For instance, if you are generally critical of other people - pointing out what's wrong with how they dress or walk or talk or behave - your kids will learn to focus on flaws as well. On the other hand, if you are a people-lover - always talking about the special and positive traits of those you encounter in your daily life - your children will learn to look for the good as well. If you want to increase your child's happiness, you can take note of what you are teaching by your living example. Is yours a problem-filled world with stress, worries and troubles always on the tip of your tongue? Then this will be the world you pass down to your youngster. Or is your world a happy place filled with joy, gratitude, love and purpose? Is it the kind of place you'd be happy to give your children? Remember, "our location is not where our body resides, but where our thoughts and feelings are" - where are you? Where will your child be?
