It's more physical.
It's really about tickling and chasing.
However, we have a second wave when they're like 11, 12, and we're about to look at it.
And what I, just my observation at this point, it's all about dad joke.
They don't chase, they don't tickle the 12-year-old anymore.
It's all about dad joke.
And in my opinion, being a father of two adolescents, dad jokes are amazing in teaching your child that you survive the embarrassment of being stupid, of saying something that's completely off the wall and that nobody found funny.
And you survive it.
So imagine the message to a teenager who are so conscious about what would people think of me.
You know what?
I say the most stupid things and it works.
Oh, man, I know them in French.
I'm so sorry.
I'll have to end up with a French joke, I guess.
Well, I'll have to think about it.
That is perfect.
Well, there's nothing wrong looking at how parents are able to comfort a crying baby, but that's not the end of the story, right?
That's not the only thing you want to do as a parent, saying, oh, I'm waiting for my child to cry so I can comfort and show what a good parent I am.
It's also enjoying your time with the child and sending a very strong message that you enjoy just being with them, interacting with them, and being playful, right?
