The Happy Child-Parenting App

The Happy Child Positive Parenting app is an incredibly informative resource for those that are either expecting or currently have children, and even for those that do not have children. The lessons are not thoughtless suggestions on how to be a “better parent,” but rather offer explanations for suggested behaviors that will enrich the lives of our children and as well as the parents. People often forget that human behavior is a clash of hormones and chemicals; this app not only reminds one of their biology, it zeroes in on the specific chemicals that dominate our lives whether it’s realized or not, and advises one which chemicals to maximize and/or minimize. I do not have any children but the content of the videos are informative enough to make me aware of the impact I would have on my child. It also notes that these desired actions to increase long-term happiness are not just for the children but also have a profound affect on the parent(s). This app could be crucial for first-time parents. The app itself is laid out very neatly and is easy to navigate. I especially appreciated how the experience is customized to the user, asking if one is a parent or not. The description of the videos are clear and the questions after each video are especially helpful to ensure one truly grasps the information that is presented. I would highly recommend this app to anyone that is around children.

This app clearly demonstrates in a way that make it easy for me to understand what the underlying cause of behavioral issues are AND helps provide me with helpful tips/solutions to fix them. There has definitely been more of a push to focus on mental health to improve parenting and overall quality of life. But to be honest, I did not even know where to begin. These videos and lessons clearly outline what is important and how to make the necessary changes for a positive improvement. Also, I thought this would be just for kids.. but I am seeing how it is helping me. Understanding the little chemicals in our brain that makes us feel the way they do and understanding which are short term fixes VS long term fixes. I recognize that I can also use some of these tips on me. Plus, as a big bonus for me, the app is visually pleasing. The messages are clear and the videos are interesting. It holds my attention and I actually learn... rather than starting a parenting book and putting it down before I get any valuable information. Would definitely recommend to parents ... but I truly recommend this app to anyone trying to learn more about themselves and get some key tips and solutions to improve their quality of life.

If you are looking for an app that is easy to use, well structured, and that helps you focus on what's really important as a parent, this is the app for you. After I recently became a father, I began to search for quality resources to assist in parenting. I have a stressful job, so something that could be used easily and quickly was a must. Also, I wanted advice that had an independent explanation for why it was good. I didn't want another resource that cited itself for its suggestions. With the happy child app, every reasoning behind the advice is explained. The app never relies on itself or "well that kind of makes sense" for its sourcing. Each of the lessons I did focused on making positive relationships and environments with your kids. The lessons had concrete examples of how to do this and explanations for why this worked. Most importantly, the lessons repeatedly emphasized how important deep connections are, as opposed to just brief interactions with short-lived effects. I am definitely learning. The app is also beautifully laid out and designed. The videos and sound are professional quality. Most importantly, each lesson can be done in about five minutes. I've already learned that, when you're a parent, every second counts. If you want to focus on becoming a better parent, want solid advice and suggestions, and have limited time, this is an excellent app for you.

This app is very well-made and an important tool for parents and all kinds of individuals to use. This is more than just for parents, rather anybody that interacts with children and essentially other people in society can benefit from understanding how the chemicals in our brains work to interact with those around us and make connections. I was impressed with the professional layout; the app is very user-friendly and easy to use by anybody. The videos are great; could use just a bit more text - but that’s just my opinion, I tend to be a visual learner. The narration and dialogue are good and easy to relay the importance of the information to anybody for them to better understand our brains and how they help us relate to others, especially children!

The happy child app is so helpful to me. I learned how to take care of my child in a better way, that I didn’t know before. The app’s videos and quizzes are informative to not only parents, but people in general. In the span of 15 minutes, I learned about three critical chemicals called dopamine, cortisol, and oxytocin. The videos were short but informative enough for me to understand how I can help my child and the quizzes explained the reasoning behind my answers. I learned about how to increase long term happiness, how to create a deeper bond with my child, and just overall how to increase wellbeing in my life and my child’s life. I am so glad I found this app and can’t wait to explore more lessons.
