Description
This engaging book is a comprehensive exploration of children's happiness and success covering a wide range of factors influencing positive functioning. It offers a holistic view of children’s well-being, identifying both threats and catalysts to happiness and success, as well as evidence-based strategies that promote optimal functioning.
"Applying science to everyday life can be a challenge, especially when it comes to child development. But Maria’s presentation of the literature helps to consolidate key insights and offer clear research-backed guidance."
Lara Aknin, Distinguished Professor, Simon Fraser University
"Maria Kalpidou takes a fresh approach in brilliantly weaving together theory, research evidence, and the voices of children and adolescents themselves to deepen understanding of the development of happiness and success. Each chapter begins with an illustrative vignette or quote and ends with practical suggestions for parents and other caregivers."
