April 2020 Out of the Mouths of Babes Oodles of evidence exists demonstrating that laughter is a powerful medicine. A good laugh stimulates the heart and lungs, releases feel-good endorphins from the brain, decreases stress, strengthens the immune system, lifts the mood, and just plain makes us happier 2nd– Carolyn McDonald people overall. The only problem is that many adults don’t laugh enough. Scientists have run the numbers, 17th– Helen Matava and most adults, on average, laugh 20 times per day. This may seem like a lot, but children laugh up to 300 times a day! Humor Month, which begins with 25th– Charlie Costello the foolishness of April Fools’ Day, seems the perfect time to get to the root cause of this laughter deficit. 26th– Fern Brook 27th– Gloria Krapf Psychologist and laughter expert Robert Provine began collecting laughter samples in the 1980s. He wanted to understand why people laughed. Interestingly, laughter did not occur most often when people heard a funny 29th– Stephen Matava joke. Instead, people laughed most at everyday remarks made by friends. Laughter, Provine discovered, was an 30th- Arthur Graff incredibly important type of social glue and a healthy way to engage the world. And this may be why kids laugh so much more than adults. Children are filled with the sense of wonder that comes with constantly learning new things. Not only is laughter a normal response to a delightful and unexpected outcome but a sense of humor is critical to developing self-esteem, practicing social skills, and learning to solve problems. Kids who laugh at themselves demonstrate the ability to accept their own imperfections. This lightheartedness attracts other friends, which in turn makes them feel better about themselves, resulting in higher self- esteem. The funny thing is that all of these social benefits continue into adulthood. As we grow, we should never stop delighting in the unexpected and laughing at ourselves, for these traits will keep our friends close and keep the laughs coming—and the more we laugh, the happier and healthier we will be.
