Many parents may think that a sense of humor is an innate ability, that children are born with it but the reality is very different. A sense of humor is an attitude towards life that children learn depending on the models we offer them and the opportunities we offer them to learn to laugh at what is happening around them.

Parents should help children develop their sense of humor by letting them take out the clown they carry inside. It is good that they laugh, joke, make jokes and clowning, but always explaining that they should do it in an appropriate way and, at the right time and place.
It is important that children have a good sense of humor because it will help them develop different linguistic and cognitive aspects. Laughing and laughing also fulfills an important socializing function that strengthens affective bonds between children, just as it does among adults.
Positive and negative characteristics of pranksters

Why children make jokes
In this sense we must also know to distinguish the various reasons why the child makes jokes, for example: Para - To have fun with others. Para - To draw attention, which is not always positive.
- By imitation of the group or family.

- To feel superior to others.
- To look older.

when the teasing child only makes jokes to attract the attention
of adults or to try to earn a place among their peers, this type of behavior may be warning us of other deficiencies such as need for affection and adequate family attention or lack of social acceptance.
