Laugh with your Children!

Laugh with your Children!  Don’t be afraid to look silly!

 

See how your child's humor changes as they develop!  Humor is a powerful interaction between you and your child.  An interaction of this nature helps your child develop lifelong skills! 

 

Babies….

Laugh when their special people do out-of-the ordinary things
Goofy dances
Sticking their tongues out
Silly noises
Silly mouth sounds
Funny faces

Toddlers….

Laugh at mix ups
Shoes on head
Bananas as phones
Little coat on a big person
Pointing to an eye when the grown-up says ‘nose’
Calling people the wrong name

Preschoolers…..

Laugh at nonsense, intentional mistakes and exaggerations

‘You’re a silly billy,’
‘Can I have a pandwhich,’
‘I want some mud juice,’
‘You have a square head,’
Picture of a giant mouse
Loud pretend cry

 School Age…..

Laugh at verbal humor
Knock-knock jokes
Word plays
Riddles
