Psychiatrist Teaches Parents How To Make Their Kids Laugh in Book

As a psychiatrist, Dr. Joel Schwartz knows humor is an important key to a child’s development, and he recognizes the role of parents in encouraging their children to develop a sense of humor. For this reason, Dr. Schwartz published “Noses Are Red: How to Nurture Your Child’s Sense of Humor” (Stress Less Shrink Publishing, 2006).
 
“Noses Are Red” could pass off as a parenting guide and child psychology book, but it is simply one of the fewest books that touch on the topic of humor and children, which seems frivolous to study about. In Dr. Schwartz we see an expert who treats humor as a legitimate subject to write about.
 
In “Noses Are Red” each chapter is divided into two parts: “The Principals” that briefs parents on the development stages of their children and how they should deal with their young ones when they reach their developmental milestones, and “The Practicals”, which are suggestions parents could apply to encourage their kids’ sense of humor. By splitting humor development into different stages, Dr. Schwartz shows parents the best ways and age periods to instill the value of humor.
 
Dr. Schwartz’s “Noses Are Red” makes a great read for parents who want to teach their kids to appreciate humor that’s appropriate for their age.
 
“Noses Are Red: How to Nurture Your Child’s Sense of Humor” was one of the books exhibited at the recently concluded 2017 Book Expo America.
