Free
Stronger Practice Hub Event
In this session Dr Elena Hoicka will discuss research-based evidence about how to share humour with children from infancy through 3 years. She will discuss when infants first understand and produce humour and go through 21 types of humour that children appreciate in the first four years. She will also discuss how you can share humour with children and understand when they joke with you. Finally, she will discuss research about early humour’s potential benefits. You will have a chance to discuss and reflect on humour you’ve seen in your practice; how you engage in humour with young children; and what benefits you might see in using humour in the early years.
Note: This session will be recorded.
