Bullying has become a big problem.
This book will help your child stand up to bullies, build courage and strength, gain confidence, control emotions in a healthy manner, and be happier through the power of laughter exercise.
Joe and his friends are bullied at school, which makes him very sad and angry. Then, Joe sees a show about laughter yoga, and he learns how to remain positive and stand up for himself when others are being unkind.
Misty Barron believes the most positive way to deal with the challenges and pains of this world is through hearty laughter. She is a testament to the healing power of laughter, using it to transform body, mind and spirit. As a licensed specialist in school psychology, Misty evaluated the emotional and behavioral needs of school children for many years until an accident took her livelihood, and almost took her life. Throwing off the shackles of seriousness and turning to laughter yoga for healing, Misty has seen the might of mirth. She is now a grandmother of three who travels the world speaking and teaching. Her passion is in helping others heal from their hurts. Misty’s books, as well as her life, are filled with fun and the frolicking of youthful times.
I don’t like the taste of coffee, yet I drink it every morning. Not a full cup, just a few gulps of the steamy liquid. From childhood, my family rallied around that first cup. It’s my husband and son’s favorite thirst quencher, but hardly mine. Why sip the strong brew? My best answer is: It is readily available and has become habit. I could say it warms me, enhances my mood, or gives me a boost of energy, but those are someone else’s beliefs. I’ve only heard them forty years. How many other activities do I engage in out of reflex? Probably many. In my quest to become happy, I found meditation. Many say the goal of meditation is no thought. I am happy to notice that it’s ALL thought and allow the unhelpful ideas to float away like a balloon. To create habits, there must be intent and initiative. In the beginning, laughing for the sake of laughing was foreign, uncomfortable, and difficult. However, there was an immediately noticeable effect. Eventually it has become my habit to laugh first, then address the situation. A good laugh does for me what coffee does for others; energizes, re-calibrates, provides space for meditation, and fuels my intention for a day filled with ease, and getting stuff done!
