Dad's jokes towards the child can be helpful for his future

The new study suggests that dad jokes can help kids cope with embarrassment or awkwardness.

Despite the embarrassment that "dad jokes" can cause, a recent study suggests that they might benefit some kids in the long run.

British Psychological Society's journal published a study this week by humor researcher Marc Hye-Knudsen arguing that "dad jokes" actually have a positive effect on children. "When considered properly, dad jokes reveal a lot about fathers' psychology and their relationships with their children, not just about how humour and joke-telling work," Hye-Knudsen wrote.

Typically, dad jokes are corny, inoffensive jokes that are wholesome and age-appropriate, suitable for dads to tell their children. Children can benefit from corny "dad jokes" by learning to overcome embarrassment, according to a new study. As a result, dad jokes are often accused of being dumb, lame, and unfunny. Embarrassment teaches children how to cope with awkward situations. By continuously telling embarrassing jokes to their children, fathers may push their children's embarrassment limits. They show their children that embarrassment isn't fatal.

Fathers are encouraged to continue telling embarrassing jokes to their children to aid their development. Your embarrassingly awful jokes may even help them, the paper concludes. Keep repeating the same old stale puns, year-after-year.
