Most parents know that it is not easy to raise children. This infographic provides some important points on how to raise happy kids. The first one is to nurture your kids.

The next one is the love from Dad which one study found that feeling loved my dad was even more important for kids well being that feeling loved by mom. It is also important that mom’s happiness matters because her satisfaction with her life is more important than her education, income, her job and also a number of time kids spend in daycare. It is important for moms to spend some time for themselves. It is always good to be an optimist and teach your kids to be one at a young age. Kids get their sunny outlook by watching how their parents react to problems. Of course, praise your kids for efforts not for being smart because this will inculcate self-discipline. It is also proven that children praised for their abilities or intelligence have a harder time coping with failure. Encouraging generosity is important as well. Teach them simple acts of kindness like texting a friend who is sad, share something with a younger sibling or spend time with an older family member. These are only a few points and more can be read from the infographic.
