Bringing more gratitude into your life is a game changer. I firmly believe that the more gratitude you express, the more the Universe will provide you to be grateful for. Here are a few simple ways to practice gratitude

Bringing more gratitude into your life is a game changer. Here are a few simple ways to practice gratitude: As soon as you open your eyes in the morning, think of one thing you are grateful for. Maybe it is simply being alive, maybe it is the sun shining through your window, or for a loved one snuggled in bed with you. Keep a gratitude journal. We have a family journal that we keep on the kitchen table. We take turns at dinner saying what we are grateful for and writing them down

Happy families celebrate both the small and big things: the end of a busy week, a good grade, the first day of school, a job promotion, holidays and festivals. The celebrations can be as simple as going to the park together, or as elaborate as throwing a surprise party. Happy families lead to happy children, so make it a point to celebrate as a family often. Laura Markham describes how yelling at your children can quickly turn your home into a perpetual battleground. Children who live in such a hostile environment are more likely to feel insecure and anxious. If you’re on the verge of losing your temper, remove yourself from the situation.

Hello,

I have read this book and as a single father of two wonderful teenage daughters I was struggling to find sanity as I raise my girls. But, this book, How happy families happen, has been very very helpful. My girls are the world to me and I try to make them happy, but in doing so I was trying too hard and what I learned from the book helped me RELAX and not try to be superdad, but to be consistant, caring, and to model good behavior. Often, it is hard to find good advice. But in this book Audrey takes the 6 steps and makes them seem tangable and realistic. Our little family is not rich, we are not perfect and this book showed me the way to use what we did have, honesty, caring and openiness (sp?) to make a happy home. My kids as they are getting older were wanting to spend sooo much time with their friends and I was not ready to let them go. What I learned from this book has had fairly quick results as my daughters are now spending more time at home. For instance, in showing care to thier pets, the house itself by cleaning up more, they are making the house presentable for others to come over and thus they spend more time at home. I have learned to ask and listen to their feelings on issues which has made our conversations more meaningful. They will sometime soon move on but with the groundwork I have learned from this book, they will always appreciate and feel welcome in my home. As you can tell from the number of times I have said "I have learned from this book" it has a very real impact on my family and I think that anyone that is looking at a simple, yet impactable way to make that "happy family" should buy and read this book. I recommend it to all my fellow Dads, single or otherwise as a resource for the "what do I do now" and "I can't be doing anything wrong", but why are my kids not appreciating me or ignoring me. The book deals in the environment of the household and gives specific simple steps to making happy families happen. It is a must read!

I am a retired public school teacher with 13 years teaching experience in middle and high schools. I also am a mental health counselor working full time in adult mentally ill residences for the past 5 years in Plymouth, MA, and on Cape Cod.

"How Happy Families Happen" by Audrey Ricker, et al, has been an invaluable instrument to help me deal with and better understand the mentally ill residents' relationships with their families.

This book needs to be used in all departments of mental health throughout the country as a clear guide to help both patients and staff connect with the families of the disabled population.

Pages 118 through 123 examines mental illness in the family. Ms. Ricker, in six brief pages, describes my personal experiences with the mentally ill and their families exactly.

In the first 12 pages my family and my wife's family were all but painfully revealed even before chapter two "The Six Step Approach Explained" on page 13 began. At that point I could not stop reading the rest of "How Happy Families Happen."

I now use Audrey Ricker's "Happy Families" book as a quick reference guide daily in my personal and professional life.

Audrey Ricker's got some great workable ideas for helping families find the best in each other by helping them understand what caring is all about. Her six-step plan works for building and repairing relationships so you can finally end repeated arguments, constant bickering and that awful sense of not being loved and accepted. It's the right book to help you figure out how to make the changes you need in your family.

I first read this book several months ago and began following it. We have a family of five and saw immediate results! Well, several months later it is still working! That is, to me, the true test. Our lives are different--our family truly is happier! Thank you to the authors! I recommend this book to everyone wanting a happier, healthier family!
