Dad jokes actually benefit your children's development

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Research reveals dad jokes serve a psychological purpose beyond humour, creating what experts call "relational fusion" between fathers and children. These groan-worthy jokes help strengthen family bonds and play an important developmental role by teaching children to understand different perspectives and develop their own wit. The experience of enduring dad jokes becomes part of a child's upbringing and contributes to their social development.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
