I have heard it said that a preschooler laughs about 400 times a day, while an adult laughs an average of 10 times per day. Children are typically joyful beings, and I think we can learn from them. I happened across an article about the benefits of laughter and thought I would share them.
~Laughter relieves physical tension, leaving muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes.
~Laughter boosts the immune system, decreasing stress hormones and increasing immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies.
~Laughter releases endorphins, elevates your mood, and enhances communication.
~Laughter protects the heart, improving blood flow.
Kindermusik provides many opportunities for you to share a laugh with children, so make sure to sign up for next semester's classes. You can get information on that here
This studio blog is for families with Miss Heidi's Musikgarten (formerly Kindermusik with Heidi) in Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lewisville, Lantana, TX and other nearby suburbs. Musikgarten is the most musically sound approach to early childhood music and movement you will encounter. We aim to help children think better, feel emotions better, listen better, and work together better. Research shows that children who participate in music and movement education do better in school and in life.
About Me
- Heidi Day
- When i was young, I seemed to have a natural instinct and interest for music and sound, and thankfully my parents took notice and started me in piano lessons when I was 8. I have never “quit”. I have enjoyed music all of my life and an convinced of its ability to calm, enrich, and heal. My work is to help others to see this gift, and plant seeds in the children. I may never see them bloom and bear fruit, but I know the work I do is important and long-lasting work and I trust that it will not return void. I am blessed.
