Some studies of child development suggest that a sense of humor is learned; others suggest that it’s inherited. It actually may be a combination of the two.

A gentle tweak of the nose means you—or your child—have “captured” someone else’s nose. Hold the “nose” in your closed fist. This is a great exercise in make-believe and humor.
