Our Favorite Parent TOG, Raising Happiness by Christine Carter
This week, we would like to share a very special TOG with all of you :
In her book, Carter offers 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents. Her approach to parenting is simple and relaxed. She takes the edge off of parenting by emphasizing the importance of enjoyment, gratitude, and forgiveness rather than perfection and extreme discipline. She has a great sense of humor and a realistic, easy writing style.
If you could only currently invest in one parent TOG, we highly recommend that this be the one you choose. She has clear advice on how to train the habits that result in happiness and backs all of her suggestions with clear explanations of the scientific research.

A regular on ABC's View from the Bay talk show, Dr. Carter has earned tremendous praise from both peers and parents as being a "Happiness Expert". She is the executive director of The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, where her blog delivers information on the "science of joyful kids and happier parents." She also has a separate website at RaisingHappiness.com, where she offers a 9 month class for training the happiness habits she discusses in her book.
