Dad Tip of the Day: Kid’s silliness encourages creativity and positive energy, so have fun and be silly as well!
Kids do all sorts of wild, wacky and silly things. There may be times where it is not appropriate, but for the most part, doing these things is just part of being a kid and growing up. As adults, we often are stick-in-the muds who forget how to be silly many times. However, kids need us to encourage and join in the silly fun to help encourage it more. The silliness creates positive energy and helps them be more creative in their thought processes.
My son Jacob last night was signing songs and substituting words to be silly, such as “The wheels on the chicken go around and around…”. Of course, I encouraged this and we added pizza, ice cream, cat etc to the song to make it even more silly. Here is a picture of the kids playing around and putting “hats” on their head, and one of Jacob being a ham:
So have fun, be silly, be wild. The kids will enjoy it and will be better off for it!
Thank you for coming by!
