How good are you at telling jokes?

The understanding of language humor should be after the age of 3. According to the theory of psychologist Paul McKee, the development of children's sense of humor can be divided into several stages: in the first stage, like other emotional intelligence skills, the development of sense of humor begins in the first few weeks of a baby's life. When the baby is 6 weeks old, you can play hide-and-seek with him, cover your face with a handkerchief, and then quickly take it away, and the child will smile at you. We naturally know how to make children laugh, and the methods are often self-taught. In the second stage, humor is based on physical disharmony for infants before the age of 2. For example, a toddler wearing shoes as a hat will make him laugh with adults. In the third stage, 3-year-old children will find pure language itself very interesting. At first, he would find it ridiculous to call his name by mistake. For example, he will call his feet hands, his cat dogs and his mother father. Repetition also makes jokes more ridiculous. In the fourth stage, children aged 3~4 will find that the disharmony of ideas will also make people laugh. For example, it is not ridiculous for a 3-year-old child to put a bottle in his mouth, but it is ridiculous for his father to do so. In the fifth stage, children aged 5-7 have stronger language skills, gradually understand that many words have different meanings, and begin to say riddles with double meanings. In the sixth stage, children aged 8~ 12, everyone has a lot of laughter to tell and is obsessed with ready-made riddles. Many children are proud that they can remember many riddles and jokes. It is often seen that the whole class knows more than telling jokes. After entering the seventh stage of middle school (13 years old), children's cognitive ability is relatively mature, they can see the symbolic disharmony, and the forms of puns and jokes are more mature. These sense of humor has gradually become a positive classroom behavior and is regarded as a social talent.
