Laughter Strengthens Relationships
Laughter has a way of joining friends or family members together. Think of your
closest relationships. What were the most memorable moments together?
Probably the times when you were giggling at a prank or laughing at a witty joke
together.
Sharing laughter adds joyfulness to any relationship. When you share funny
stories, memories, or jokes together, it’s unitive, especially during difficult or
stressful times.
Think about a child who is mad about something. They usually stand in front of
you, arms crossed, lips pouting, maybe stomping their feet in disagreement.
Maybe the bottom lip quivers a bit, leading up to a cry.
Quick-acting parents will often tickle the upset child, tell a silly joke, or make a
funny face before the waterworks start. Most times the quivering lip turns into a
reluctant smile, and the now-smiling child will pretend to be mad after having their
mood changed.
Many adults can have their moods changed just as quickly (minus the tickling) just
by invoking some humor into the situation.
