Episode 2486:

Shawna Scafe challenges the idea that a "happy child" equals successful parenting, emphasizing the importance of guiding children through discomfort rather than shielding them from it. By fostering contentment and resilience instead of an endless pursuit of happiness, both parents and kids can develop emotional stability and a healthier outlook on life.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://simpleonpurpose.ca/happy-kids-content-kids/

Quotes to ponder:

"You’re fine,’ ‘get over it’, these are for my comfort. My ultimate comfort as a parent is a happy, cooperative, occupied child. But does a happy kid mean I’m a successful parent?"

"Contentment is a life skill that will likely make us more emotionally stable, successful, and capable than the pursuit of happiness."

"We don’t have to fix everything: right away, the best way, the happiest way. We can all be a little uncomfortable sometimes, and that is okay."
