The Development of Children's Happiness and Success The Science of Optimizing Well-Being Across the Lifespan

"Applying science to everyday life can be a challenge, especially when it comes to child development. But Maria's presentation of the literature helps to consolidate key insights and offer clear research-backed guidance."

Lara Aknin, Distinguished Professor, Simon Fraser University

"Maria Kalpidou takes a fresh approach in brilliantly weaving together theory, research evidence, and the voices of children and adolescents themselves to deepen understanding of the development of happiness and success. Each chapter begins with an illustrative vignette or quote and ends with practical suggestions for parents and other caregivers."
