A whole generation of children and teens are desperately unhappy.  A recent survey by the Children’s Society ranked UK children amongst the unhappiest in Europe, although the unhappiness trend is not just a UK phenomenon. 

I’ll share my thoughts on why so many children are unhappy and what we can do to reverse this worrying trend. 

 

Here are the highlights: 

(00:28) The three reasons your child might be unhappy

(08:49) Never underestimate a good bedtime routine 

(15:35) Being outside has a huge impact on wellbeing 

(19:24) Set healthy boundaries 

(24:04) Encourage your children to problem solve
