Is laughing normal?

Bea423 · 07-23-2014, 04:54 PM

Just curious.. Is it normal for a 3 to to laugh or smile when being corrected or asked to stop? Ex: That hurts please stop *doesbt stop and laughs* I will help you stop * says "okaaaay" and laughs. Or "food stays on your plate" and laughs and throws/drops food.
Normal? I follow through with my words but the laughing feels so rude and rebellious to me! It's hard to not get irritated.

Yes. Very normal.

Rugayatu · 07-23-2014, 05:53 PM

Yes. It's a nervous thing.

It is so infuriating to parents, but yes, it's normal.

That would make sense that it's a nervous thing. I laugh in uncomfortable situations too sometimes.

Thanks for the insight!

Totally normal. Totally annoying.

Well at least it's normal! I always feel like I need to address it but if I say "this is not funny" he says "yeah it is" and laughs more. Drives me nuts! So I've been ignoring it, thank you!

Me too! I always have! When I was a child I remember my mom being so mad at me bc I'd stand there with a silly smile on my face when she was mad at me! I never knew why I did that until it was grown up.

I have a girl who does this too. It took a long time for me to realize that she's prone to nervousness/anxiety, because so often she displays it this way. I'm afraid I have often responded in anger to her coping mechanisms.
