How to raise a happy child

I always wonder if Gabby is a happy gal?

As full time working parents, time with her is always limited. That’s why JHon will bring her to CC every morning and I will fetch her back (usually we will spend minimum half hr on rides and walking around the mall). Weekend and holiday are our reserved family time. We usually spend our evening watching her favorite videos (The Little Eninsteins, Barney, Fun Songs Factory, etc…..), playing puzzles, play pretends, Alphabets tablets, etc. Not sure if these are enough but we always have a great time, laughing and end up tickling each other on bed.


Found an interesting article on baby Centre on How to raise a happy child (ages 2 to 4).

It teaches you to learn to read signs if your child is a happy one. As mentioned in the article, “a happy child smiles, plays, shows curiosity, socializes with other children, and doesn't need constant stimulation.”

“The signs of an unhappy child are clear: The child "is withdrawn, quiet, not eating very much, doesn't spontaneously get involved with other children, doesn't play, doesn't ask questions, doesn't laugh and smile, and has very spare speech."

Read about it to find out more. Enjoy. :)
