Being Human
Every week our panel of Shrinks breaks down trending topics of psychology in the news that we call Being Human.

When it comes to who is happier, people with kids or those without, most research points to the latter. But a new study suggests that parents are happier than non-parents later in life, when their children move out and become sources of social enjoyment rather than stress.

Most surveys of parental happiness have focused on those whose children still live at home. These tend to show that people with kids are less happy than their child-free peers because they have less free time, sleep and money.

Our panel of Shrinks breaks down their thoughts on these findings.

You can read the study that inspired our discussion here.
