Children Know Something Adults Have Forgotten
September 22, 2017
Evil can only be defeated by kindness between people. Kindness demands courage.
-Sergeot Uzan, parent of a terrorist attack victim

"One morning a number of my toddlers crowded around the mirror, smiling and laughing as they saw each other’s reflections. At one point they seemed to share a moment of total connection, which sparked exuberant laughter and dancing around in a circle...," writes Deb Curtis in Really Seeing Children.

"Research shows that children laugh approximately 200 times a day, whereas adults laugh only 15-18 times. People who laugh more are healthier, experience less stress, are less likely to be depressed, and may even have an increased resistance to illness or physical problems. The children seem to be on to something that we adults have lost...

"My observations of children support the research that shows that laughter is less about humor and more about creating social connections, where people build feelings of camaraderie and pay close attention to each other."
