Forum

The Forum is a place where you can participate in a community of involved parents, sharing your thoughts on the important issues raised in I Just Want My Kids To Be Happy!   Below are some suggested topics to get you started.  We especially invite you back to the Forum after you've read the book, with your thoughts on the topics that you found most interesting.

In what ways have you noticed yourself going too far to keep your children happy?

• What price have you or your family paid in your efforts to keep your children happy?
 
• Have you ever thought there was a downside to the kids from your efforts to keep them happy?

Were you to put less energy into keeping the kids happy, what consequences might there be, good or bad?

• In what ways might you modify your child-rearing approach so that you devote less energy toward keeping the kids happy?
