When it comes to children, they seem to be innately happy no matter what the circumstances, but the reality is that not all children are happy. Because of this, many parents really want to know if their children are happy or not, because if they are not happy, it is important to investigate the causes and solve them. ** Happiness is not being the best at something or comparing yourself with others ... Happiness means enjoying life and the loved ones day after day. **
There are parents who think that the upbringing is somewhat exhausting but they forget about the happiness of their children. Children to be happy just need to connect with their loved ones, have fun with creativity and not have so much script that directs them without stopping every day of their lives. This does not mean that children are not happy, because many are. Many children live a full life but others, unfortunately live a life where happiness may be absent. But how do you know if your child is really happy? Do not miss these signs that will tell you every day.
Signs that indicate your children are happy
1.- They have happy parents
This is the most important of all. Children know when their parents are happy or they are not. When there is happiness in the parents almost automatically spend more quality time with their children. If you are a person who is stressed trying to balance work and family but you can not spend quality time with your children, your emotions will be resentful. On the other hand, if you balance work and family and also, you look for time to spend quality time with your children ... They will realize the effort you are making.
A sense of humor is also very important ... Laughing at the little things will always be a good motivator for happiness. Have your time for breaks, to show your son that you reflect on conflicts ... You will be teaching him to tackle problems with a sense of humor and also to find solutions in the most efficient way.
2.- Play without instructions
An unstructured game time seems to be an art lost today. Until not long ago children built their own fun, today, it seems that children need to be programmed and marked to find fun. The wooden blocks, the construction elements, the plasticine ... There are many toys that enhance your imagination and that are being abandoned. If your children have too tight an agenda it is important that you find a daily gap so they can play without instructions.
3.- Express their emotions without feeling self-conscious
Children scream when they are angry. They cry when they are sad. They laugh out loud when something they like or they're passionate about. And if they are lucky, they will do so at any time of day, and that will be fine. Children (and adults) need to express their emotions. While adults call a friend or someone close to relieve themselves when things get difficult, children are more primitive, and need to be ... For the adult to help them understand their emotions and to lead them back successfully.
Let your child express their emotions and then offer your help. Resist public tantrums even if you feel overwhelmed for the moment, but it is the best opportunity to internalize the negative emotions and then, seek solutions. If you try to get your children to suppress their emotions, it could lead to feeding problems, depression or other serious emotional problems.
In addition, happy children will feel understood, respected and loved unconditionally ... Thus promoting empathy and assertiveness in their lives.
