Not really.I do not see the use of teasing.
It seems to be an excuse for bullying, trying to get out of punishment.
Neither did I . But once I grasped it's importance in bringing up children I decided to try to employ it in a constructive way. I have two hybrid children. Both now adults, gently tease me. It is not the
same as being hurtful.
It is very similar to gentle humor. I used to tell them impossible, improbable stories in order they could get the rules of possibility and probability. It prepared them for when someone else with less benign intent attempted to do this for real.
