224 - The Importance of Laughing with Kids
Today’s show is sure to do two things: Make you laugh. And make you think about laughing!
We’re talking about the importance of laughing with Dr. Anthony DeBenedet, author of The Art of Roughhousing.

As parents, a better understanding of the value of laughing – for ourselves and with our children – can be one more tool to living a happy, healthier life.
