Toddlers \u2014 full of energy, curiosity and laughter \u2014 have a lot to teach adults, experts say.<\/p>\n

When it comes to happiness and living well, we can learn a lot from toddlers.<\/p>\n

Stay with me here. Hasan Merali, an associate professor of pediatrics at McMaster University and a pediatric emergency room physician, has treated thousands of patients between the ages of 1 and 5. In his book, \u201cSleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas: Secrets From the Science of Toddlers for a Happier, More Successful Way of Life,\u201d he writes that this group has an undeserved bad reputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cA term I dislike very much is \u2018terrible twos,\u2019\u201d Dr. Merali told me. \u201cOr \u2018three-nagers.\u2019 Can you imagine if we labeled another age group like this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, he said, toddlers have tantrums, but research suggests<\/a> that they occur, on average, once a day, and last three minutes.<\/p>\n

The rest of the time, Dr. Merali said, toddlers are models of well-being. He shared a few good habits, common among the under-5 crowd, that can improve your mental and physical health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
