Quote
When we tease young children or use sarcastic humor , they most often believe our words to be true. A child’s sense of humor is not yet developed and sophisticated like an adult’s. It is crucial to respect children and not to trivialize them with teasing and sarcasm. It is critical to take them seriously by validating and acknowledging their feelings. Children need to know what we really think about them almost as much as they need the air they breathe. They might lead us to believe they understand our humor in order to please us. In fact, our humor is often confusing and sometimes hurtful to children.
