Grins and Giggles: Get Your Laugh On with Kids
Got Jokes?
Q: How does a pig get to the hospital?
A: In a hambulance!
It's one of the many jokes I remember from my kids' younger days! Laughter is a key ingredient to our health and happiness. Belly-laughs provide "exercise for our insides"! Laughing is one of my favorite things to do and I often end therapy sessions with kids with a joke (when appropriate)!
Jokes can lighten the mood and light up our brain with feel-good chemicals. Neuroscience tell us it is good to laugh! Laughing is good for our physical and mental health. We've talked about it here and here before, too! But, a little reminder never hurt anyone, right?

Don't Hesitate
Don't hesitate! Go forth and get your laugh on! What are you waiting for?
You don't even have to be in a good mood to laugh. But your laughter alone just might turn it all around for you. Try it!
As always, from Kidlutions, we wish you Happy Parenting {and Teaching}!
