Humor and Healing Podcast
This timely and timeless podcast features a conversation between Joel Goodman and Jeneye Abele focusing on how laughter can help carry us through the most difficult times. Together, they reflect on how an attitude of humor doesn't mean you have to be a comedian. The simple act of choosing to laugh at ourselves and see things with childlike curiosity and light-heartedness can give us perspective on otherwise overwhelming situations. Positive humor connects us, builds confidence and makes us think about our shared humanity. And bonus, it just feels darn good to laugh. This podcast is part of a fantastic series presented by two wonderful non-profit organziations: Beyond My Battle and Unfixed Media Productions. You can lend an ear to this 36-minute podcast by going to Humor and Healing Popcast

There is a very big difference between behaviors that are "childish" and perspectives that are "childlike". (Joel Goodman)
What is the difference for you between "childish" and "childlike"? How can you use a childlike perspective today as a mature adult coping mechanism?
Ask your children ridiculous questions to stimulate interest, thought, and laughter. This helps connect their sense of wonder with their sense of humor.
