How can my family be healthy and happy?

Positive Instead of Negative

Healthy, happy families tend to be more positive than negative, even in families that experience extreme conditions of stress. Healthy, happy families use positive discipline more than negative, and tend to see good in events and people more than they see bad. In other words, they do not punish their children as much as they praise what their children are doing right. Positive reinforcement has been proven time and time again to be more effective in improving a child's behavior than negative reinforcement.
