Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:        Laughter is good for your child.

PRACTICE:   Watch or read something funny with your child today.

For older children, you can let them pick out a video or book. For younger children, you can pick something out.

Pay attention to what makes your child laugh so you can help put more laughter in her daily life.

Relax and see if you find some of the same things to be funny. Laugh together as much as you can.

Today’s Parenting Tip was inspired by our featured picture book, DOCTOR TED.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
