So basically they just enter the room.

There's no toys because it's way too easy to use toys.

So they come in the room and we say, okay, you have a few minutes to make your child laugh.

And the parents are like, what?

Yep, you just heard me.

I mean, just make him laugh.

Yeah, absolutely.

And you should see like fathers like jumping on their kids and stuff like that.

And rapidly, we realized that, you know, mom were pretty good at it.

But there were slight differences.

Like mothers will tell the child, oh, I'm going to tickle you.

I'm warning you.

Or is the dad is already jumping on the child like if it's a pancake, right?

Boom.

So there is element of surprise that it's more there with fathers and mothers will let the child know this is coming.

But ultimately, they're able to make the child laugh.

So now if the father is more surprising, more out of nowhere, unpredictable, then the child needs more trust.

to accept that kind of stimulation, right?

So if mother is just playing, but it's softer, maybe it's not that related to the relationship or you don't need, you know, someone say, oh, I'm going to make a joke.

Okay, make your joke, right?
