Do you like the sound of childrens' laughter?

Question

Toddlers are cute when they laugh, but I find the sound of older kids laughing annoying. It makes me think they're being bad. Am I wrong for feeling like this?

Answer 1

I don't think your wrong.  I think it is fairly safe to say that some older children have an odd or even irritating tone in their laughter (as do adults!).  But in general, I think laughter is a sign of a kid enjoying themself and view it as more of a postive thing than as an indicator that they are involved in being "bad."  

No matter its sound, I appreciate the sound of laughter when rooted in honest fun and good intent.  Its a whole lot better than the sound of a kid crying or in anger.

Answer 2

No, you're not wrong, and I like the sdound of any child laughing because it means they're happy.

Answer 3

Hello,

It sure beats them fighting :0)

Answer 4

I like the laugh of any child.

Answer 5

Not wrong, no.  There are different kinds of laughter in the world; happy, amused, innocent, shy, embarrassed, evil, rude, mean, etc.  You name the emotion and there is probably a laugh for it!  

Toddlers have what I call a "Jelly Belly Chuckle."  Their eyes get merry and jelly bean shaped.  Their laughter comes straight from their gut.  It's a free sound.  Innocent and honest.  As we get older, there's too much going on in our minds to have such a care-free laugh.

Teenagers tend to be self-conscious.  Because of this, their laughter is often false.  

I don't know anyone who doesn't cringe at the sound of un-genuine laughter.  I ALSO don't know one single person on this earth who doesn't at the very least SMILE when they see this:

Answer 6

as long as you aren't a PERVERT thats fine.

Answer 7

well spose its better than the sound of them screaming and crying

Answer 8

All laughter is wonderful if it is genuine.  Perhaps the older child is forcing a laugh...although some people's laugh is annoying, it doesn't mean the person is annoying or doing anything bad.

Answer 9

my mom doesnt really like my laugh but hey wut can she do?

Answer 10

Yes, you're wrong for feeling like that.

Answer 11

Not wrong at all.  It is just how you feel.  I love children's laughter.  I can sit here and just listen, it makes me smile.  I am 30 and my mom loves to hear me laugh.  maybe one day you will enjoy older children's laughter, but just because you don't at the moment, does not make you wrong ;)
