Children and Humor
Humor is universal for all ages. Researchers at the University of Bristol studied how humor develops in young children. The Early Human Survey found babies can appreciate humor by two months of age – with games like peek-a-boo.
Most two-year-old children can tell something is funny, even when they don’t “get” a joke. They almost always react to physical humor. But they base their reactions to verbal humor on the body language and vocal cues of adults.
It takes a more sophisticated mindset to appreciate puns. Most kids don’t get puns until around the second grade. But punning is good for them – it grows their flexible thinking and problem-solving skills.
