My daughter had a play date recently with a younger girl in our neighborhood. This other child’s behavior is often is difficult and playing with her is not always fun for my daughter, but it was vacation week, no one else was around and the play date was to be at the other little girl’s house. I knew the mom would be present, so I agreed. We limited the play date to two hours.

The play date went smoothly-the girls got along fine. When I returned to pick up my daughter, the other child (let’s call her Susie) told me about a game they had played with the linens from her parents’ bed. They put them all over the floor (pillows, comforter, and sheets) and had made a fort out of them. The girls insisted I looked at the fort.

On the way into the bedroom to see it, the other mom took me aside and told me that she wasn’t sure letting them play with the bed things was the right thing to do. She asked me what I thought about it and how we handle things like this at our house.

I told her that the rule in our house is that Mom and Dad’s things are off limits. I told her that I don’t wish to put my head on a pillow that’s been on the floor, or put my body between sheets that have been on the floor with children rolling around in them, no matter how clean I know the floor to be.

I also said that occasionally, I permit my daughter to use the pillows from the family room couch to play with in one of her imaginative play scenarios, but only if she asks first and we agree that when she is finished everything will look as it did before she played.

The other mom then said to me – “so that’s why your daughter looked over at me to ask if it was okay when Susie began taking things off the bed.” This other mom was amazed that my daughter would ask before doing this!

This was one of those times that I knew that all of the teaching and modeling and talking to my child about what I consider good behavior really did get through to her. I was very proud of my daughter. I was very proud of myself – I had a moment of knowing that I am getting it right.

The other mom then told her child that there is a new rule in their house – she must first ask before using mom and dad’s bedding for play and that, if permission is granted, everything must go back the way it was before.

When my daughter and I were alone in the car I told her that I was pleased to hear that she looked for permission before just going along with what the other child wanted to do. She told me she was surprised the other mom just let the kid wreck the bed and play with all the bedding! That was why she looked for permission – for my daughter, who is used to the structure and rules in our home, it didn’t seem to be the appropriate thing to do.

I told her that I thought she showed good judgment by asking first and I really appreciated the respect she showed the other mom.

My daughter was beaming with happiness at the praise and the rest of the day was terrific. Sometimes we get to see the results of our parenting and that gives us the confidence to know that we are on the right track.

This also points out how important it is to communicate to your kids the household rules and behavioral expectations. If you haven’t done that already – get going!

Advice abounds about how to be a better parent. And the focus seems to be about creating happiness for your children. But is it possible for both parents and children to be happy (without mood-altering substances)?

Raising Happiness

Christine Carter, author of Raising Happiness, says it is. In an article featured on Yahoo, she explains that when she became a parent, her goal was to focus on creating happiness, rather than solving problems. Still, she realized that there were parts of her day as a parent that led to unhappiness both for her and for her children.

The Solution

What the solution she found that she now offers to us?

Eliminate the bad and amplify the good. Sounds way too simple, right? Let me explain…

The solution is to ask yourself two important questions and be prepared to make changes based on the answers.

The Questions

1) When are the times in your day or your week that you are happiest with your children?

There may be more than one answer to that question. Take note of the things you do together, the moments you share, that are guaranteed to make you smile.

2) Now, how about the most stressful times?

Identify the parts of your routine that are almost guaranteed to make you crazy. It could be because of the time crunch or because of the difficulty of the tasks you are involved in at those times.

Making Changes

Once you have answered those questions for yourself, you have some changes to make. But not all at once. Carter cautions that you should avoid the sweeping changes. Make small ones, one and then, another, that eventually lead to the lasting change you were aiming for from the beginning.

She gives an example from her own life about the crunch time that would occur as she tried to get her kids out the door to school at the same time. She said that she started with just one tiny change: she started having her kids put their shoes by the door at night before they went to bed.

The next thing to do is to increase those moments that you love. How can you have more of those? You may have to schedule them in, because hoping for time to appear within your established routine may not work. Make a small change that allows for more of the good.

So your mission, should you choose to accept it: start today to look for ways to increase the happiness moments and eliminate the less happy ones.

As you contemplate that process, consider healing the stress that has occurred already.
