Laughter at School

[Ahira Cantú]

Social play is critical to the development of children’s social skills and emotional intelligence.
Restricted play results in deficient social skills which can lead to life-long physical, mental, emotional and social problems.
Laughter promotes childlike playful behavior.
New research shows that playful adults continue to learn social skills and improve their emotional intelligence.
Learning requires that one lower what linguists call the “affective barrier.”
Laughter improves blood circulation and flushes the lungs of stale residual air. Approaches to therapeutic laughter such as Laughter Wellness and Laughter Yoga help children to achieve better concentration power, increase learning abilities and enhance academic performance.
