Laughter's social role is d’finitely important. Today's

children may betheading for a whole lot of social problems

because their play and leisure time is so isolated and they

lose out on lots of chances for laughter. When children stare

at computer screens, rather than laughing with each other,

they get so involved that they forget to laugh at all; this is

contrary to what's natural for them’ Natural social

behaviour in children is playful behaviour , and in such

situations laughter indicates that make-believe aggression

is just fun, not serious. This is an important way in which

children form positive emotional ties, gain new social skills

and generally start to move from childhood to adulthood.

Parents need to be very careful to ensure that their children

play in groups and laugh more.
