Giggles and puppets: a fun way to build resilience in preschoolers?

This study looked at whether laughter yoga or playing with finger puppets can help preschool children feel better emotionally and become more resilient. 90 children were split into three groups: one did laughter yoga twice a week for four weeks, another played with finger puppets twice a week for two weeks, and a third group did neither. Parents and teachers filled out questionnaires to measure changes in the children's play behavior and emotional well-being.
