Silliness: when your child is all giggles and nonsense
Giggles that won't stop, funny faces, made-up words: silliness can wear grown-ups out, and it matters a lot to kids.
What's behind this feeling
Silliness lets off steam. It often shows up after a long day or when something was exciting.
What can help
Join in now and then – a silly face costs nothing. And when it doesn't fit: "One more minute of silliness, then teeth" works better than "Stop it."
