Happiness (for both kids and adults) is defined as ‘an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment.’ As caregivers, there’s nothing better than having a happy child. Their giggles fill the air and smiling faces always warm our hearts and make even the most difficult of days a little easier. Giving our children the tools and guiding them on building their confidence, positivity, and self-esteem every day can help foster a positive mindset. Starting this when your children are still young can help them grow into happier and more emotionally intelligent adults.

Here are a few simple ways to help your children find their happiness today and every day:

Positive Affirmations for Kids

Of course, you know your kids are awesome, but it’s important that they feel that greatness from within too. Daily positive affirmations are a wonderful way to shift a mood from low to high, regardless of their age; a small but impactful commitment to mental wellness. Try these with your kids today:

• I am unique
• I am brave
• I am strong
• I am loved
• I am in control

Morning Meditations for Kids

Taking a few minutes each morning to connect with their body and mind is the perfect way to start the day on the right side of the bed. In fact, morning meditations have been shown to improve focus, boost moods, and lower the chance of anxiety and stress later in the day.
