A global survey found that 73% of Americans believe raising a happy child is the most important goal of parenting, a view shared in countries such as France and Canada. But how can you tell if your child is truly happy? 

“I often remind parents and caregivers that happiness is not just about momentary joy; it’s a reflection of a child’s overall well-being,” says Taren Coley, MD, Psychiatrist & Director of Child & Adolescent Services at HopeWay. “A happy child feels safe, loved, and free to be themselves. They have room to experience a full spectrum of emotions, including sadness and frustration, without fear or shame.”

Coley offers much more insight for this question at the link in our profile. And you can discover more about HopeWay, a nonprofit mental health treatment organization serving Charlotteans, at hopeway.org. by @charlotteparent
