Laughter is a universal language. In fact, humor has no language at all. A simple funny joke enacted with the right expression can transcend language barriers and can make anyone laugh.
Take babies for example. They totally crack up when you blow raspberries on their tummy. As they grow older, babies start responding to funny faces and can have a really wacky sense of humor.
Humor is a great way to connect. A good dose of laughter makes us capable of taking life’s challenges and more resilient. A good sense of humor has long been associated with higher intelligence, better social skills, high self-esteem, confidence and improved self control.
So while we all are aware of these amazing benefits of laughter, we seldom do anything to nurture the funny bone. We somehow believe it is inherent. Whatever the case may be, nurturing sense of humor is a great idea any day. It is one skill that can never go out of style.
Nurturing your child’s sense of humor does not require any special training. All you need to do is be a part of the process. Crack silly jokes, laugh on yourself…basically just be funny yourself.
And if you think you lack the funny bone yourself, here is some help. Below are forty hilarious kids friendly jokes to get you and your children started.
