<p>I am in a cross cultural, multilingual setting.  I would like to measure happiness / frustration of children before and after changing rules about food and water before surgical operations are performed.  What suggestions would you have for measuring happiness in both verbal and non-verbal children (verbal children may not speak English)?  I would prefer a type of visual analog scale to be answered by the child if able and the parent.</p>
