#1022 - The Pursuit of Happiness
Manage episode 425939220 series 1230931
Are parents really responsible for their kids’ happiness? Doing things purely to make our children happy often results in disappointment—for them and for us. Instead of trying to satisfy our children's insatiable craving for happiness, we share four things to teach them that will help build happiness as a by-product rather than an end in and of itself.
(R) This episode originally aired 1/8/22.
In this episode:
- Myth – It’s our job to make our kids happy
- Things that could go wrong if you think it’s your job to make your kids happy
- Setting our kids up to fail
- What ARE we responsible for?
- Emotion coaching
- Do hard things
- Building positive relationships
