Children are actually happy

Children are happy! Is the shocking new revelation from CBBC institution Newsround.

The survey looking at children’s lifestyles showed that 96 per cent of children have positive perceptions of themselves, and despite the conception that Britain’s families are succumbing to alienated ASBO culture, 90 per cent of families eat together at least four times a week.

Quality time with the children hasn’t faltered with 80 per cent of children spending three hours with their parents every day.
