Did you know that preschoolers giggle an average of 300 times a day?
What would happen if we did that?
I just LOVE hearing my little man giggle...and guess what is a guaranteed laugh each time...me pretending to slip and fall... he thinks I am hilarious. Well, I am. I really have it down.
According to Playful Parenting:
don't be afraid to:
LOOSE YOUR DIGNITY
sing goofy songs
fall over (my little man loves this one)
exaggerate
make funny faces
pretend cry
have pillow fights
tell jokes
use made up words
play dumb
use a silly voice
talk out loud to a toy or puppet
pretend you are an animal or character
"If you are frustrated because you have to remind your child for the twelfth time to pack her lunch or take out the garbage, next time try singing the request in a fake opera voice instead..."- Larence Cohen, PhD

My preschooler is the MASTER of made-up words!! I love that he is so creative, while that is definitely a "muscle" I need to develop. And here's a reminder people: they don't like your silliness forever, so don't delay! My older boy is SO ANNOYED when we change up the lyrics to a song! :)
