The document provides questions parents can ask their children to help increase happiness. It suggests asking at bedtime about the favorite part of the day, at dinner about things they are grateful for, and when facing a problem about what they will do to address it. It also recommends asking how an event made them feel, what others may be feeling, how to look at the bright side of situations, what they want to do on weekends and outside, and how to make others happy. The questions are meant to focus on positive experiences, cultivate empathy, and train children to process their own emotions.

1. QUESTIONS
THAT WILL MAKE
YOUR CHILD
HAPPIER SOURCE : HUFFINGTONPOST

2. AT BED TIME
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF TODAY?
Helps your child feel content and happy before sleep.
It also instills a habit of focusing on the best thing that
happened in any given day rather than the worst

3. AT DINNER TIME
WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR?
There is a strong correlation between
happiness and gratitude, so this one is very powerful

4. WHILE FACING A PROBLEM
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?
When a child comes to you with a problem, ask this question in a
warm and curious tone. Don't just jump in and solve their
problem; how does that help them in the long run?

5. WHEN SOMETHING GOES GOOD OR BAD
HOW DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
An essential part of happiness is being able to notice and express
your own emotions. It trains your child to be aware of his
feelings, and to use that information effectively.

6. WHILE TALKING/PLAYING WITH OTHERS
WHAT DO YOU THINK HE/SHE FEELS?
Cultivate empathy by asking your child to wonder about
what someone else feels. Empathy will make your child
a happier person and build strong interpersonal skills

7. DURING DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
HOW CAN WE LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE?
In any situation, you can teach your child that there are positives.
With preteens or teenagers, this question may be way too corny,
but little kids will like it.

8. DURING WEEKENDS
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS WEEKEND?
Anticipation of positive experiences brings more happiness than
the experiences themselves. A child who is excited all week to
get ICECREAM on the weekend is a happy child, just as an adult
who plans a vacation six months in advance is happier during
those six months

9. WHILE HELPING OTHERS
WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY?
Bringing your child along to visit a sick relative, or someone
recovering from surgery, or to volunteer at a soup kitchen is
a wonderful gift that you can give to your child.

10. WHEN PLAYING OUTDOORS
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO OUTSIDE TODAY?
Getting outside and engaging in physical activities alongside your
child is a wonderful way to get him or her in the habit of
not just sitting around.
