The Positive Impact of Dad Jokes on Children's Development

A new study published by the British Psychological Society found that dad jokes have the capacity to make us better humans. Dad jokes show a father figure's willingness to embarrass himself repeatedly and subconsciously teach kids to be alright with awkwardness and how to respond to it. Kids continually exposed to eye-rolling humor build up a natural immunity to judgement and embarrassment, and become adults who feel empowered to be themselves.
