Make Each Other Laugh

April is National Humor Month.

To lift spirits when your child is in a sour mood, have a grim expression contest. See who can make the saddest, maddest, baddest face. Then see what you can each do to turn the other person’s frown into a grin.

Here are some other ideas for improving your child’s outlook with humor:

• Quiz each other from a collection of riddles.
• Read funny comics, stories or poems aloud. Check out "Dirt on My Shirt" by Jeff Foxworthy.

If you’re feeling creative, come up with your own funny stories, riddles and poems. See just how corny you can be!
