Triggering Happy Hormones – How STMs Can Light Up a School?

When was the last time you heard genuine laughter echoing through the hallways of a school? Not the forced, polite kind, but real, belly-shaking giggles that come from deep within? If you’re struggling to remember, it’s high time we talked about happy hormones—and how Student-Teacher Meetings (STMs) can help in triggering them.

We all know that being humane requires a certain level of happiness from within. A school where students are content, relaxed, and, yes, happy, is a school that thrives. But how do we create this environment? How do we ensure that the classrooms aren’t just places of learning but also of joy?

Happy hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin are not just buzzwords from a biology textbook; they’re the secret sauce to a well-rounded education. Laughter, giggles, and a sense of belonging aren’t just feel-good moments—they’re scientifically proven to improve mental health, reduce aggression, and even control bad behavior.

So, where do STMs come in? These meetings offer a unique platform for students to express themselves, share a laugh with their teachers, and feel truly heard. It’s in these moments that the magic happens—happy hormones are triggered, creating a ripple effect of positivity that spreads throughout the school.

Imagine a school where happiness is the norm, where students and teachers share more than just academic knowledge—they share smiles, jokes, and a genuine connection. That’s the power of STMs. Want to know more? Grab a copy of the book and start your journey towards a happier, healthier school environment.
