Happiness as a goal in childhood is a sure-bet way to ensure a life time full of anxiety in adulthood. Adults whose childhoods focused on happiness and easiness are not only unprepared for tough moments but actually experience that much more discomfort because deep down they believe they are doing something wrong because they are failing to " find the happy " and get themselves to a better place. It's not your job to make them happy all day everyday.. Let them be frustrated a bit You might want to remove the source of frustration for them all the time BUT THAT's a MISTAKE ! Instead of shielding them from frustration! Be present & compassionate while exposing them to small doses Like... 1- Asking them to wait a bit for things that they want right now. 2- Gradually adding more complexity & new responsibilities on them. 3- Teaching them how to deal with their big feelings on their own and not to run from them. 4- Help them understand that life will never be fully Satisfying & they have to accept the fact that somethings can't be changed. When you gradually build up their frustration tolerance they will be less likely to give up when things get hard.... DO YOUR JOB PROBABLY, YOUR IMPACT MATTERS 🤍
