The Joy of Friendship
Sing along with Elmo and friends as you build your child's confidence!
- Watch the video together and explain the phrase “you tickle me”—that is, it’s not about actual tickling, but about making someone joyful. Ask, “What makes you joyful?”
- Play a “ha-ha” game. Each player can show the others how he or she expresses happiness. It can be anything from a smile to a giggle to a loud belly laugh. You’ll be spreading happiness and building a stronger bond.
