In this laughter-filled episode, Scott and Jess dive into the delicate balance of teasing and playfulness with kids. They discuss how to be playful without going too far, share hilarious stories about their family's creative characters like "Sean" the hand puppet, and provide practical tips for connecting with children through humour.

Some important topics discussed in the episode include:

Recognizing how a child's understanding of humour develops with age
Respecting boundaries around teasing
Using playfulness as a tool to connect with kids and diffuse tense situations

Listeners will gain valuable strategies for bringing more fun and laughter into their parenting while avoiding potentially hurtful teasing.
