CNN (7/18, Holcombe ) reports humor “may be an important skill in parenting, according to new research.” In a study, “researchers surveyed about 300 people about their experiences being raised with or without humor and their views on their childhood.” Researchers found “people who were raised by adults who used humor were found to have a better view of their parents or caregivers, more likely to say they have a good relationship with them, more likely to say they did a good job, and reply that they would use the same parenting techniques.” The findings were published in PLOS One.
