welcome

Do you suspect that there is more joy to be found in your life, especially in your parenting or marriage?

Do you love your children, but often find parenting exhausting?

Good news, folks: Greater happiness is just around the corner. Christine Carter has helped bring more joy to thousands of parents, kids, and couples.

Her parent-to-parent tone and humorous, tell-all approach make her research-based parenting and relationship advice accessible and fun.

What is Raising Happiness?

Raising Happiness is a book, a blog, and an online parenting class.

Parents who teach and practice “happiness habits” (foundational skills for resilience and emotional intelligence) raise happier kids AND are happier themselves.  Happiness habits also dramatically increase the odds that children will succeed socially, academically–even athletically!

The Raising Happiness Class, taught via video by Christine Carter, is an interactive, low time-commitment, online course for parents who want to raise happier children and be happier themselves.  Eight Themes address all aspects of parenting, from helping kids succeed in school, to fostering kindness and compassion, to getting kids to do their chores, to getting a handle on sibling fighting.
