Bullies To Buddies

The media is finally giving attention to something that has needed attention for decades: Bullying. The more people talk about this serious problem...the faster we can help children who are being bullied (and children who are doing the bullying as well).


Which is why Rhonda Ryder and Patrick McMillan of the Happier Kids Now 2010 Online Expo have decided to re-post the interview they did with Izzy Kalman from Bullies to Buddies.


This was an often shocking interview that you will not want to miss. Many people (including myself) have shared how powerful Izzy's approach is...and the folks at Happier Kids Now want as many people as possible to hear it.

Only the other day Jack came home and was upset about a girl he was sitting next to in class who was being mean to him.  I used the skills I had learned from Izzy in the recording to show Jack through role play how to handle the situation.  He quickly picked up on how easy the technique was.


If you know ANYONE who has a child suffering from being bullied, or a child who is engaging in bullying behavior, please tell them to sign up right away so they can get access to this interview.

I'm not sure how long the free interview will be posted so tell them to hurry:

Plus, when you or a friend signs up, you'll also receive a copy of Patrick's ebook, "The Ultimate Kids Guide to Happiness" as a gift.


These interviews and materials are changing lives.

"Many of the speakers brought me to tears with their words of love and peace and healing. I hope that enough people will get this very important message and that it will change the world for children so that children can be safe and secure and happy." -Alysia


Please spread the word!

Happiness -Yes Please!

I've just listened To Christine Carter Ph.D.  Author of Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents on The Happier Kids Now Online Expo.

Up until today I knew nothing about Christine.  She was just a name on the speakers list.

I have been so busy this week and I am now trying to catch up on the replays from this week (Christine was a speaker on Tuesday). 

I was so impressed, what a real parent this lady is.  Very honest and incredibly helpful.  I picked up some fab ideas I can quickly implement with Jack (9). 

I'll tell you what I liked so much.  She's not selling herself as the perfect parent that so many parenting experts do.  There was something about her that I really connected with.

You can listen to the replay by signing up for The Happier Kids Now Online Expo Click Here The Expo is Free and there are still lots more fantastic speakers to come.

Find out about Christine's Book Raising Happiness.  I've already ordered my copy.

Rainy Days, Family Time and Happy Kids.

Well it looks like summer is well and truely over here in Menorca.  We always get our fair share of rain towards the end of October.  I have to admit I quite like it after such a long hot summer.  I love snuggling up on the sofa on a rainy day and watching films, reading, playing board games, challenging Jack on wii games, baking... What are your favourite things to do on a rainy day?  If you have some fun activities, please share them with us.

It's a fiesta here in Spain tomorrow and our eldest son is arriving later today, so I'm looking forward to some family time together.  We're going to go out to our favourite restaurant.  Lunch time eating is big business here.  We love to have the Menu del dia's.  It's a 3 course meal typical of Spain.  They are usually really reasonable prices and you get to try things you probably wouldn't order from a normal menu.  I love the typical Spanish restaurants, they're busy, full of chatter and most importantly for me children are always very welcome. 

I'm loving the Happier Kids Now Online Expo, I know I'm kind of going on a lot about this but I am so impressed.  I knew it was going to be good just because I know the people who've organized it are amazing and I was already familiar with some of the speakers but wow, I have been amazed at how brilliant each speaker has been.

Guaranteed to Help Your Kids Live a Happy Life! (new video)

Wow, I can't believe we've been given yet another free video from the people at Happier Kids Now. 
Every morning before they leave for school, single dad Patrick McMillan and his two boys, Liam (9) and Hayden (12) do this one Gratitude Activity.

Listen to Patrick tell you all about it in his new video (it’s only 4 minutes):

http://www.happierkidsnow.com/cmd.php?Clk=3931076

Do they miss a morning here and there? Occasionally. But for the most part, this is their practice.

They each own a “Gratitude Journal” and every morning they think of five to ten things they are grateful for and write it down.

This is a great way to start your day. Try it – you will be amazed at the difference it makes in your mood. Then you can teach this simple process to your kids.

Just imagine if we started teaching our children how to focus on what they are grateful for. By the time they got to be teenagers, perhaps it would seem like second-nature.

Did you know it’s been scientifically proven that people who do this one Gratitude activity…

**Live longer

**Experience less illness

**Have longer lasting and more meaningful relationships

**Are more successful in business and academics

**Enjoy a greater satisfaction with their life


Find out what Gratitude Activity this is by watching the video so you can help your kids develop life-long habits of gratitude.

This video has been shared with us by Rhonda Ryder and Patrick McMillan ~Your Happier Kids Now Expo Hosts
