Improving your child’s happiness in a fast-changing society
Families and educators need to unite in discussions with the courage and vision to create new kinds of upbringing and education specifically geared to the future.
Jimmy Allen: What can parents do to improve their children’s happiness and overall behavior?
Sarah McCrum: Many parents are facing a big problem these days. It seems that whatever they do their children don’t react in the way that they expect them to. This is especially clear in the area of respect. I have met many parents who were genuinely surprised and confused at the lack of respect children have for them and other adults. And the irony is that the more they try to understand their children and give them what they want the less the children respect them.
