Parent to Parent Speaker: The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness: Five Steps to Create and Sustain Lifelong Joy with Dr. Ned Hallowell

What do we really want for our children?  Most parents will answer that more than anything else they want their children to be happy.  Research has proven that parents can greatly increase the chances that their children
will grow up to be happy, responsible adults by instilling certain inner qualities such as optimism, playfulness, a can-do attitude, and connectedness.  To help children grow
into happy, moral, connected adults, parents need to encourage specific activities and actions.  Dr. Hallowell
will outline his five-step plan: Connect, Play, Practice, Mastery, and Recognition, based on research and his experience of what children need to thrive.
