After I learned to Go for the Giggle, I had an experience with a child in which I could see two distinct choices before me of how to handle a potential power struggle.
It was another afternoon with “Kyle”, six years old, and “Neil”, who was two. I was sitting in the playroom folding the family laundry.
Just as I had almost finished, and was stacking some of the folded laundry into the basket, Kyle ran over and knocked the basket over, spilling the newly folded laundry on to the floor.
Wanna have more fun with your kids AND keep your heart healthy?

We’ve all heard the old adage “Laughter is the best medicine.”
Well… guess what?
It’s really true!
Recent heart and blood vessel research shows that laughter may actually help prevent heart disease! By laughing more with your family, you’ll have more fun and connection while supporting healthy hearts all around.
Here at Awake Parent, we’re big fans of letting kids release their feelings- but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck listening to screaming, crying kids all the time!
