What are the harms of tickling to children?

1. Forced laughter, not happiness

A child does laugh when tickled, but it is not necessary that he is actually happy. Sometimes the tickling is so intense that the child cannot do anything other than laughing. This laughter is a natural reaction of his body, not an expression of happiness.

2. Risk of shortness of breath and panic

Continuous tickling can cause shortness of breath in the child and he may feel nervous. This problem can be even more in small children, because their respiratory system is not that strong.

3. Tickling can eliminate the sense of self-defense

During tickling, the child may feel unable to protect himself. This can weaken his tendency to say 'No' or 'Stop'. If this continues for a long time, even when he grows up, he may find it difficult to express his discomfort to others.

4. Mental stress and fear

Some children may feel scared and uneasy due to excessive tickling. They may feel that they are losing control over their body, which can develop a feeling of insecurity in them.

5. Effect on muscles and pain

Continuous tickling can put unnecessary pressure on the muscles of children, which can cause pain or cramps in them. Therefore, children should never be tickled. It is not good for their health.
