> Children have no problems with happiness or well-being

How about children who are repeatedly raped by their parent? Are they happy?

How about children who's parent has died? Are they happy?

What about the children who are grappling with gender indentity or sexuality (and maybe with parents who are not supportive)? Are they happy?

What about children living with disability and who are being bullied because of it? Are they happy?

The problems you mentioned, while being a completely different matter, will not (and should not) be solved by mindfulness anyway.

You are exactly approving my point that it's the adults who need to solve their problems (on different levels) first.
