Today's children face a lot of challenges, like stress, technology ubiquity, academic pressures, low self-esteem, to name a few.
They are struggling to make make meaningful connections away from their devices. And it seems that the only connections they make is through video games and "likes" on social media platforms.
They are not encouraged to go outside of the home and make connections for fear of the unknown. This is robbing them of precious in person interactions. A Laugh 2B Well session, is the remedy to bring more joy and laughter into your schools. To get children to play again!
