A great friend of mine recently enlightened me by saying that when dealing with people in life, you must always take into account the “size of their world” because at the end of the day it’s all relative to that. As I thought about this concept as it relates to my own world as a mom, I realized the profound truth and importance of this very statement.  Why am I writing about this? Well, when dealing with children especially, it’s more important than ever to remember the size of their world and what’s relative to them.

Every parent wants to raise happy children, but as moms, of course, we know that happiness is often elusive. For children, however, happiness is not elusive, but really quite simple! And guess what, moms? Raising the “happy child” is really quite simple as well. Stick with me.
