What is the value of humor at home? In today’s time, I will say it has tremendous value. It is now imperative to instill humor (even if that is purposive) at home. Today, kids are growing up in an environment that is full of tension and stress. Fathers have their work tension. Mothers too have their work tension along with the household chores. Children are also seen burdened with a lot of things including homework. All these things in a daily life leave no room for humor.
Hence, we have to make a conscious effort to spend some time with the family and share a few joking moments together which will re-instill smiles and laughter on your faces as well as on your children’s faces!
This may seem unusual but if your children are teenaged, ask them to prepare a joke book and share it with the family. I am sure; all the members will have a great time. Children love to spend such light moments after a heavy day that includes school, tuition, coaching classes etc. Try and not talk about academics immediately after your child comes home. This will further alleviate the stress in him. Just change the environment and share a few hearty laughs with your kids.
Today, there are a host of comedy TV programs. Watch them together with your family. You will sure have a great time. The idea is to make your home, a home where humor and happiness lives!
