In episode 1 of the Sunshine Parenting podcast, I talk with best selling author Christine Carter, Ph.D., about her book, Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents. We discuss two of the tips from her book, including "put on your own oxygen mask first" and family dinner.

We also address a listener question about teaching children how to handle unkind kids. Visit Christine's website at christinecarter.com for more information about Christine's books, online classes, and coaching.
