The best place to raise a happy family is in a Happy Home. However, to get that happy home all members of the family must must work together. Parents and children must listen to each other and strive for understanding. Children should be loved unconditionally and parents and all members of the family should respect each other. Self esteem should be fostered and caring for others should be a priority. Accomplishments should be praised and all family members should be encouraged to be the best that they can be. I am sure that you were looking for a geographical location. Look for a place that has a low crime rate, good opportunities for education and career, a stable economy and demonstrates high moral values. Also a place where people know how to have a good time, enjoy life and above all help each other. I live in Newfoundland, Canada and can't think of a better place to be. Wherever you settle I wish you all the best.

that is one that really no one can answer since everyone has his or her ways of life. i can tell you where i think is the best place to raise mine though. i lived in dallas for many years and i knew that was not where i wanted to raise my kids. we started raising them there but as soon as we could we left. we came to arkansas and found a town that has a population of 214 people. we home school the kids as well. we live close to lakes, rivers, hiking spots etc. we live in the country and love it. now if i could figure out how to do this i would. i would love to raise them some where that was like little hosue on the pairie type setting. you cant do that though cause when the kids grow up they would be very confused about life around them lol. i love having them inthe country and letting them do things outside and teaching them about life. they are sheltered yes but they are not completely protected from the outside world either. it has to be a mix for them to make it as an adult. we show them parts of the world and what goes on etc but at home they are safe. we let them be kids but show them responsibility as well. you just have to find that balance

Mostly it is the atmosphere they experience at home that makes a happy family. If you can manage to shut bad surroundings outside and keep a hopeful feeling inside the home that is a great start to life. I have been very lucky to live in a comfortable environment on the outskirts of Bristol, England, so perhaps I am seeing through rose tinted glasses. It must be awful to have to live in a place where you do not even feel safe inside your own four walls and have to run the gauntlet to get there too. I hope you find good surroundings wherever you may be.
