Happiness is What You Bring: Making Joy a Character Trait | Episode 446

from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith

Is happiness just a feeling, or can it be a choice? Dr. Roger Smith shares his family's mantra: "You do not find happiness, you take it with you." This episode explores how to treat happiness as a character trait—a quality independent of your circumstances. Learn how to prepare your children to approach potentially disappointing situations by deciding beforehand to make the best of it. By choosing to regulate their feelings and actions, you teach them that true joy comes from an internal commitment, not external expectations.
