There are some good things about TV.
Other than some of the documentary or information channels, there’s one other I’m grateful for: the cartoon network!
Yup, on stressful days, you may well find me mindlessly gazing for 30 minutes at Bugs Bunny, Fred Flintstone or Batfink.
Cartoons aren’t just for kids anymore. Movie producers love to cash in on the desire of adults to laugh. Just look at big budget animation films like Finding Nemo, Ratatouille and Shrek.
Sometimes laughing at absurd situations helps us to forget our own worries for a while. And of course laughter releases chemicals into our brain that enhance positive feelings.
Action – Rent or buy videos of favorite cartoon movies. Sign up for a cartoon channel. Better still, get up early on Saturday morning and enjoy a bit of time with the kids as they watch their favorites.
