ABSTRACT

No matter where in the world you are, when you ask parents and teachers what they wish for their children, the most common answer is for them to be happy, to do well, and to be able to cope and succeed. This is a reasonable wish, but when you stop and think about it, you wonder how children can actually become happier and more resilient, and achieve success in what they do. What do adults have to do and what do children have to do to make sure this happens?
