Linked to karmickids: Is my child happy?

Every parent would analyse this differently depending on what happiness means to them taking into account the child’s personality.

I know my child is happy and loves me when:

When she proudly introduces me to her friends in day care ‘This is my mummy’.

When she laughs beyond control at my funny gestures. It melts me when she says ‘You are funny girl. mummy’. I could walk upside down to hear it from her.

When she says ‘You are looking very pretty today, mummy’.

When she gets hurts, comes running to me. All I do is to kiss her on her bruise to hear ‘Thankyou mummy. Its ok now’

When she is in the temple and says ‘Thank you for giving me mummy, thank you for giving me papa. Thanks for giving me toys’. Yes, I did teach her to say this with folded hands probably once or twice and then she started saying on her own.

When she comes home and asks ‘Where is my sister? Can I love her’

When she wakes up with a smile and shouts Where are you mummy? Waits for couple of minutes, runs to our room if we dont show up to cuddle in my arms and sleep for few more minutes.

When she finds us in pain, fetches her chewable vitamin and asks us to eat it to feel better.

When she jumps from the couch down holding my hands with complete faith in me to not let her down.

I can go on and on.. Dlittle one is waking up. Time to feed.

Bottomline is If parents are happy, the child is happy. The child is happy, the parent is happier and it continues…
Every day is not the same. We do get my moments, but for the most part I can consider my household a happy camper. Lot of credit goes to H, his postivie vibe and energy reflecting on us.
