Laughter is Good Medicine
The old Proverb goes (Proverbs 17:22), a joyful heart is good medicine. Nothing brings change to the atmosphere like genuine laughter. Whether it be amongst friends, family, with your children or watching a comedy alone, laughter undoubtedly is good medicine. I must admit that a child’s laughter is more contagious than a yawn. Whether blowing raspberries on a baby's belly, putting on a silly hat and chasing your 3-year-old, or pretending to fall to amuse a first-grader, laughter brightens a family’s life. It important as parents that we create an environment in our home that is joyful and full of wholesome laughter. Laughing together is a way to connect, and a good sense of humor also can make kids smarter, healthier, and better able to cope with challenges.
