Sense of Humor
Lifeskills Make a Difference!
“Friendship Matters!”
Humor is one of the healthiest and most powerful methods of maintaining perspective about life’s difficult experiences. A sense of humor allows us to find and experience joy and delight. Students at school are displaying a sense of humor when they:
· See the bright side of difficult experiences
· Use humor to alleviate someone’s fears and make them feel more comfortable
· Laugh at themselves when they make a mistake
· Understand what is appropriate humor for class and school
