Happiness is not determined by status, wealth or any well-known social indicators.

There is an opinion that happy people grow up in families where parents not only provided for their children, but also cared about their well-being and mental health.

According to experts, if parents teach their children the following 5 things, they will be grateful for it for the rest of their lives.

What to teach children

1. The first and most important thing is to teach the child to always maintain a good mood, no matter what happens in life.

Positive thinking helps to distract oneself from external negativity, and therefore, in a sense, protects against stress.

2. Another important point is to be able to answer only for yourself.

Do not confuse with responsibility for actions or consequences.

It is important for a child to understand that his happiness depends only on him and he should not be responsible for someone else being unhappy, much less feel guilty about it.

Denial of one's own needs and aspirations leads to devastation.

3. A person must be able to be grateful, and sincerely so.

In other words, it is the ability to enjoy life and be happy just from the thought that he personally managed to escape from oblivion.

4. A very important point is to strive to do what each of us considers our business.

This type of activity reduces the risk of experiencing stress and developing anxiety.

5. But the most important thing is to teach the child to do everything here and now.

It is impossible to become happy if you constantly put things off until later.

These are unlived moments of happiness, and stress due to unresolved issues, and many other negative aspects that worsen the quality of life.
