A new study by Arhus University in the United Kingdom reveals that dad jokes may be good for children. Researcher Marc Hye-Knudsen says embarrassing your kids just a little can help teach them how to overcome awkward moments. ”I think it’s important to embarrass your kids. Or, to be more specific, I think it’s important to do things traditionally viewed as embarrassing until your kids are basically immune to the effects. After years and years of being exposed to eye-roll-inducing humour, with a complete disregard for what anybody else thinks, kids will have nothing greater left to fear. They’ll gradually build up a strong immunity to judgement and embarrassment, and actually feel empowered to be themselves”
