Feeling a bit down, coming off a long day at the office, or weighed down by the grey weather outside? Using humour in the little everyday challenges you face with your kids is often a great way to defuse a situation and lighten the mood!
Just be careful to use it appropriately: humour doesn't always belong when you're stepping in with a child who has behaved badly (like hitting their little brother, for example!) or when anger is overwhelming you as a parent.
But when the situation allows, it can be a pleasure to let loose and get silly in all those little moments that are sometimes so full of frustration! Laurence Morency-Guay, psychology professor and founder of the platform Parent qui apprend, shares plenty of concrete ideas for adding a little fun and gentleness to everyday chores and routines!
