Your 5 year old by now, develops the cognitive ability to grasp different meanings, jokes and riddles. When he starts first grade, with the ability to see and understand humour, he is able to make more friends, liked by peers, has high self-esteem and a more positive outlook towards life. By smiling at his own mistakes, he is better equipped to handle teasing and bullies.
