Research is quite surprising in the field of happiness and parenthood. Even though parents often refer to their children as their "pride and joy”, research tells a different story: having kids doesn't necessarily make people happier or at least not in a way that we may expect.

As a cool auntie, Klaudia was also curious how can we all contribute to raising happy children and how kids impact our perception of happiness. Whether we are parents or otherwise. 

To understand more, Klaudia invited Kevin Maguire, a writer who set up The New Fatherhood: a weekly newsletter on modern parenthood, providing an open and honest conversation between community of dads. Klaudia was curious to find out what his readers’ perspective is on kids and happiness.
