The Laughter Maker !
I'm just coming back from a week-end with my village, our family and niece (love love love). And if there is something I know what to do, is to make a baby laugh 😂
My men asked me "But really what do you do? How do you do it?"
I don't really have a method yet, but I though about 4 things. I believe it is much more in my presence than in what I do or don't do. Let me try my best to describe it to you 🤗
PAUSE. Whatever the interaction I have with baby (offering diner, playing, soothing, trying to make them laughs, etc) I pause! I pause to let the reaction happen. To let actually time space for the laughter to have place :)
MIMIC & THEATRICAL To make them laugh my whole face is ready for it ! I start confident a smile is gonna come up, so my eyes are wide open, my eye brows are high and my smile is collecting all it can to contain the happiness that I feel happening.
MY MAGIC GIGGLING MOVE! There is that move that seems to make e-ve-ry baby laugh! I will offer them something to grab and I pull on it like I pretend that i am trying to take it out from them but baby is to strong. They hold it "so tight" that "I can't". And may add a things like " Oooooh nnoooooooo I can't I can't I can't" "Will you, will you, will you give it to me!" I will pull creating a back and forth movement between them and I. But I will also pull from side to side. I won't put to much force in it obviously, but I will definitly make it energetic !
LOOP and REPETITION I took that one from my Loop Technic to help babies (even colicky one) to find sleep : the Loop. Or in other words, i will repeat my moves over and over again. It really makes the difference, especially for laughters, because laughter will not just happen, you have to build up the energy, build up the fun. The more you repeat the euphoric it will be !
You know what, let create together a LAUGHTER MAKER METHOD !
Try it home, and come back here share with us your inputs and make our own method ! Oh yeah ! Sooooo exciting !
Hello Hey, Louise there :) I am still figuring out how I am gonna shape that group. - How often would you like me to post here (without being intrusive - I believe I've turn on an option that will send you a mail weekly with all the updates, not every single time I post here> Let me know if it works) - What do you want to find here? I am so happy to have you here, let me know how I can make it this place somewhere you feel good in ♥️
I really like those posts! They make me laugh 🤭. I’ll definitely try your method and let you know.
The hiding play is always a good thing for us.
