Parents are often tickled pink when they hear their baby laugh. Often, they find themselves making silly faces and sounds in order to hear the sound of the baby's giggles again. Fun.

But did you know that laughing or giggling is also important for the baby's health development?

Not only is laughing an important means of emotional communication but baby's who laugh more are more socially competent and has more social skills. Plus...

"Recent neuroscience research shows that a humorous approach may even improve problem-solving capacity by enhancing the ability to see situations in different ways.

Brain imaging studies suggest that humor might enhance children's intellectual development, too. Infancy is the time when skills and abilities are being developed based on exposure to experience; neurons in the brain that are used develop further, while those that are not are pruned back."
