Holiday Break Episode 3: Why humor is important to children and families
In this third mini holiday break episode of 2024-2025 season of Talking About Kids and the final episode of 2024, I want to talk about kids and humor. In particular, I will present a little bit about what we know about humor’s importance to development, its role in establishing and maintaining relationships, and why at least one world leader thinks it is crucial to our survival. Links to some of the articles I cite are at talkingaboutkids.com. Full-length Talking About Kids episodes will return in 2025.
