Making Children Happy
Wednesday, June 8, 2005Children need to be supplied with as many positive and influential affirmations as possible to encourage them to be happy and live bright and meaningful lives, with endless opportunities. They can only be enticed to do so with help from the adults around them. Different forms of positive encouragements have been researched, especially for the cases where children do not necessarily have great role models at home.
Research has shown that children develop best through their own discovery and self-learning. For this reason when a child looses themselves in their imaginations – of course guided by a positive medium like a book , a film, a workshop, an activity – this is their best time for learning.
Through my studies I came across ‘The Magic Sunglasses project’ lead by the children’s author Auriel Blanche. Auriel Blanche successfully taps into many children’s spirits on a global scale, making them visualise desirable outcomes and make positive connections with their inner purpose. She does this through her skill of creative and innovative writing which engages children of all ages. Along with her interactive workshops and programs, The Magic Sunglasses, her acclaimed children’s fun fantasy book is a must read for all children in today’s society. Especially for those who are saddened with a low self esteem and those who seem unhappy. The meaning and purpose of The Magic Sunglasses – is fundamentally to motivate a child by imagination and creativity. Make-believe is important to intellectual development and mental health. It is an integral part of childhood, it is this that will inevitably make them happy.
The main character in the book, namely Samantha, is a character that a child with a lack of confidence can relate to. She too hasn’t fully discovered that she has a special value all her own. Throughout the story she finds a power that the reader will be inspired to find in themselves. The books motivation is to show we all have that special value, which we can use to help us live the lives we really want and to be happy. The magic sunglasses in their physical form mysteriously find their way to Samantha. They have wonderful powers which support her and show her what you can do if you really try! The important notion behind the story is that these possibilities are still achievable when she no longer has the glasses, as she forms her own abilities and the confidence to try. The results this book entails is seen in the readers improvement of personal motivation, their positivity for their own capabilities, their respect for their own special values and the optimisms for their own self worth. The main and key ethos being, helping children to live happy lives.
When a story actually transforms a child’s life, bringing joy and happiness to them, you know the story is a winner. This touching, inspirational and heart-warming plot has repeatedly been transformed into optimistic true life stories for many children who have read it. From some of which, Auriel has been inundated with positive testimonials, rewarding reviews and written letters of compliments. Auriel invites children globally to explore their dreams, strive to their potential, to not limit themselves and independently enrich their own lives. With The Magic Sunglasses, they are free from objective restraints with encouragement to explore possibilities. As they read how another child (Samantha) plays and dreams they do the same. They too imagine themselves to be a superstar, singing to the adoring crowds. They too can pretend to be dressing up as a princess or a super hero. They too can imagine being able to eat as many sweets, cookies and ice cream as they like. They can also make play of their own nightmares of witches and goblin, and overcome them with confidence and ambition enthused throughout the book.
A child with this negative attitude will never achieve resolutions without an assisted positive view point. It is important that a child can understand that any problem is temporary and can be resolved if you just try. With these positive qualities a child can be happy and motivated to live life with confidence and enjoyment. When a child sits down with a book, they are in a comfortable environment, in an imaginative place away from the negative aspects of life. This is the most perfect time to inspire upbeat outlooks and encourage the use of optimism.
I find Auriel Blanche to be an extremely influential writer and The Magic Sunglasses should be in every family household. We hope she will be inspiring and empowering children for years to come.

Having a family that loves them and that gives lots of hugs and affection. If you give them the essentials in life, they will grow up to be good, caring people. Providing for them is essential, but being rich with no love does not make anyone happy. Children are very smart, they know when they are not loved.

No, kids will not making me happy. I'm childfree, so having kids will not be one of my acheivements. I personally think kids are a stress factor.

i agree with 2cents. i assure you when you experience this you wont ask this.
well.. its a whole new mess of stuff.
it makes em grateful & makes em worry
you completely invest yourself in your children you are not as selfish they bring out the best in us & sometimes not. children are innocent they have that factor & that can draw us in.. we want to be there when they learn & experience new stuff and we want to protect em. did you know that when the baby is born the baby is supposed to be with the mom bcuz the mom provides warmth & love. and for some reason its essential..the baby has to be with the mom right after birth. i'm sure there probably is a scientifical answer to this but idk it. there's different kind of love kind of.. like love for your parents.. love for your wife/husband and love for your kids. you tend to risk your life more for your kids. having kids makes you forget about yourself & needs tho not completely ofcourse. it is such an experience to see your baby being born.. when you see your baby you think –i cant believe i made this.. we made this.

It's not my job, duty or calling as a parent to make them happy.
I am training and teaching then to figure out what makes them happy and how they can make themselves happy by making good choices and being wise.
