Hi there and welcome to

the Happy Hearts Parenting Blog!

In these posts we explore some of the research linking social and moral development in childhood

to emotional and mental wellbeing -

and importantly, what it all means for how we raise our kids!

We hope you find our posts interesting and helpful. ❤️

Promoting Giving Tendencies

Promoting Giving TendenciesBy: Jess Kingsford (Ph.D)

In this blog we take a closer look at Gratitude and discover (from recent research) 1) that it has an 'innate, genetic basis' among all humans, 2) that it can be promoted at any age using various Gratitude Interventions, and 3) that such strategies result in 'better mental health and wellbeing' for participants! So let's get busy promoting gratitude in our kids!
