Daycare and Child care Academy in Houston

What makes children happy?

I am fortunate to live in a neighborhood with families who have children the same ages as my kids. The parents in our neighborhood work hard together to make sure that our children have many opportunities for indoor and outdoor play that does not revolve around electronics, video games or other expensive toys. For most of us, we figured that what really makes our children happiest is playing together for hours on end with water balloons, sidewalk chalk and soccer balls, often until the sun goes down. Video games, iPad’s, iPod’s and cell phones still compete for our children’s attention, but we limit the exposure to these items for a variety of reasons.

Does the key to the happiness of children really rest in playing simple activities with friends and not the obsession with the latest trendy electronic toy? Research seems to indicate that it does. Studies throughout the U.S. and Europe have looked at measures of children’s social and emotional wellbeing and have drawn the same conclusion – the things that really make children happy are not “things” at all. They’re really life conditions, such as having enough nurture and love; a strong sense of attachment to a parent or other primary caregiver; confidence and optimism about the future; physical health; a sense of belonging to something larger than oneself; and of course, basic needs such as food and shelter.
