For parents, ringing children's laughter is endless joy. Only here on what our kids laugh? Over someone's misses or witty jokes? And is it possible for a baby to somehow develop a sense of humor?
A good sense of humor is a great tool to help in life. It is easy to watch as a child with a good sense of humor looks confident! Children who can appreciate jokes easily overcome adversity and are respected by their peers.
With the first toothless smile the kids give their parents a month after the birth. Fervent laughter in 6-month-old babies is caused by playing Goat Horned and hide-and-seek. Children of several months old already distinguish what is happening with them for fun, and what is really for them! It is very important at this age to play with them more often, to tell funny tales, to sing humorous songs.
Kids of two or three years simply adore tales of confusion. For example, Marshak "That's what scattered," Chukovsky's "Wonder Tree", verses by Moritz, Ouspensky, Oster, humorous stories of Dragoon and Nosov. It is not excluded that after the first reading the crumb will not understand because of what it is necessary to laugh. This is quite normal, because his sense of humor is just beginning to form. Only very funny stories that may seem silly to us as adults can only cause a child to laugh.
Do not try to impose your point of view on the child. Just explain delicately why this or that moment in the story seems funny to you. Over time, the baby will become more sensitive to subtle humor. This is especially true of such a subtle reception as irony.
Watch your little one and notice that it really seems funny to him. Encourage his fun, laugh with him - for him it is very important! It may happen that a child begins to annoy you with an inappropriate joke. Do not scold him, just explain that this is not worth doing and it is not funny. It is important to explain to the child that the joke should not offend the person, but only laugh.
