Boosting children's wellbeing

"SING!! Engage your children in singing. Singing has been proven to reduce the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) in the body as well as release all 4 'happiness hormones', one of which - oxytocin - helps you feel bonded too, so why not join in? And it's fun! An all-round fabulous wellbeing activity to raise your child's and your own wellbeing."
