Curious Kids Every Day: A Daily Educational Podcast

Curious Camp: CuriousKidsEveryDay.com/Camp

Why do we laugh when we hear a silly joke or when someone tickles us? In this episode, we explore what happens in the brain and body when we laugh, why laughter helps us feel good, and how it brings people closer together. You'll also learn why doctors sometimes call laughter "mini-exercise."
