What will make your children happy?

00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:10,900
Many parents think the answer is a full schedule 
of activities and sports-related events.

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,200
What they don’t realize is that busyness 
will not create long-term happiness.

00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:26,900
What kids need most is for their parents 
to focus less on them and more on their marriage. 
Therapist David Code noted,

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,700
“Families centered on children create anxious, 
exhausted parents and demanding, entitled 
children. …

00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:44,900
As we break our backs for our kids, our marriage 
and self-fulfillment go out the window while 
our kids become more demanding and dissatisfied.”

Code concluded, “The greatest gift you can 
give your children is to have a fulfilling 
marriage yourself.” I’m Mac Hammond. This
