The Happy Kid Handbook | How to Raise Joyful Children in a Stressful World | Katie Hurley | Summary With all the parenting information out there and the constant pressure to be the “perfect” parent, it seems as if many parents have lost track of one very important piece of the parenting puzzle: raising happy kids. Parenting today has gotten far too complicated. It’s never been the easiest job in the world, but with all the “parenting advice” parents are met with at every corner, it’s hard not to become bewildered. It seems that in the past it was a good deal simpler. You made sure there was dinner on the table and the kids got to school on time and no one set anything on fire, and you called it a success. But today everybody has a different method for dealing with the madness--attachment parenting, free-range parenting, mindful parenting. And who is to say one is more right or better than another? How do you choose? The truth is that whatever drumbeat you march to, all parents would agree that we just want our kids to be happy. It seems like a no-brainer, right? But in the face of all the many parenting theories out there, happiness feels like it has become incidental. That’s where The Happy Kid Handbook by child and adolescent psychotherapist and parenting expert Katie Hurley comes in. She shows parents how happiness is the key to raising confident, capable children. It’s not about giving in every time your child wants something so they won’t feel bad when you say no, or making sure that they’re taking that art class, and the ballet class, and the soccer class (to help with their creativity and their coordination and all that excess energy). Happiness is about parenting the individual, because not every child is the same, and not every child will respond to parenting the same way. By exploring the differences among introverts, extroverts, and everything in between, this definitive guide to parenting offers parents the specific strategies they need to meet their child exactly where he or she needs to be met from a social-emotional perspective. A back-to-basics guide to parenting, The Happy Kid Handbook is a must-have for any parent hoping to be the best parent they can be.   👉 DOWNLOAD THIS FREE PDF SUMMARY 👉 JOIN THE COACHING CHALLENGE 👉 GET A COPY OF MY NEW BOOK HERE 👉 DOWNLOAD 450 SUMMARIES BOX SET HERE 👉 DOWNLOAD MY NEW COURSE Subscribe to our BestBookBits Channel WHERE TO FOLLOW US https://bestbookbits.com https://www.instagram.com/bestbookbits https://open.spotify.com/show/0q8OW3dNrLISzyRSEovTBy https://www.facebook.com/michaelbestbookbits https://bestbookbits.com/bookclub/ https://www.patreon.com/bestbookbits
