Small children are a bottomless source of fun and laughter. Their joy and excitement make our days happier and put a smile on our faces even in the worst of times.
Being able to laugh at one’s self is always a positive quality. However, laughing at others can cause real harm.
Many young children feel the need to play cruel jokes on their friends and classmates. They often don’t realize that what may be funny to them can be humiliating to others.
When that’s the case, it’s important to speak seriously with your child, but without being harsh. After all, what your child is seeking is approval.

Show your child that it’s more fun to laugh with others than to laugh at them.
