Lauren, Mark, Addison, and Hunter Raymond

This will be our last one on Cultivating Joy in Children for a while as I will be bringing guests on who are experts in JOY. We have so many wonderful conversations coming up to share about JOY.

Now on to this episode:

Addison and I discuss how important it is to laugh. As adults we are much too serious and we don't tap into fun and laughter enough. Instead, we carry stress, worry, and anger. Those negative emotions have a traumatic effect on our bodies and lives. 

Instead, learn how to bring authentic laughter into your life. When you do, you are modeling for your children how important laughter is.

Why is it important:

  1.  It relieves stress
  2.  Stimulates our organs
  3.  Increases our endorphins
  4.  It activates and relieves our stress response
  5.  Soothes tension
  6.  Improves immune system
  7.  Helps relieve pain
  8. Improves our mood


Addison and Hunter do hilarious things at home that make us laugh hysterical. Yes, there are times I'm tired and don't want to, but when I just let go and laugh, I feel so much better. It even gives me energy. 

Take time to laugh EVERY SINGLE DAY with your children. I can guarantee your family and household will be much happier!!!
