Most of us like to think about things we want that will make us happy . This can be things like toys , games , or nice treats . Some of the things we want might only make us happy for a short time . For example , eating our favourite food will only make us happy whilst we are eating it — it won ’ t be long until we are hungry again . If we eat too much of something we might get a poorly tummy later or if we eat something too often we might get fed up of eating it . That ’ s why we are going to learn about different things we can do to make us happy , not just having more ‘ stuff ’ like more food , more toys , or more games .

Most of us like to think about things we want that will make us happy . This can be things like toys , games , a new phone , nice clothes , or treats . Some of the things we want might only make us happy for a short time . If we do something that we enjoy over and over again our brains do something quite amazing — rather than always getting excited , they start to get used to it . So , instead of finding something enjoyable like we did the first time we did it , we may get fed up with it . That ’ s why we are going to learn about different things we can do to make us happy , not just having more ‘ stuff ’, like more food , more toys , or more games .
