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. ❤️
Why family meals matter!
By: Jess Kingsford (Ph.D)In this blog, we hear about the research showing how the frequency of family meals can powerfully influence a range of outcomes for children, and Jess also explains the ways that family meals offer many opportunities to nurture children's moral development, and ultimately therefore, their wellbeing.
The Habit of Sharing
By: Jess Kingsford (Ph.D)Wouldn't it be great if sharing was just a habit for our kids! In this blog we show you how to help your child create a new habit... the habit of sharing food with others at mealtimes.
