Ha Ha Ha [One Minute Feature]

Is laughter something you are lacking in your relationship with your child? When it comes to bonding with your child, how can laughter play a role?

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Have you ever had a time with your kids when you just couldn’t stop laughing? Maybe it was a comedian, a movie, or perhaps just you and your kids telling old stories or jokes that made you laugh together hysterically. While studies show that laughter has many of the same health benefits as exercise, other studies show that laughter has brain boosting powers also.

If laughter can improve mental and physical health, imagine the incredible bonding power it could bring to your relationship with your kids. Laughter is also a stress reliever and since today’s kids are enduring the same degree of stress as the average psych patient in the 1950’s, intentionally setting aside some time to laugh with your kids is a great idea.
