A hug is a wonderful thing and it is a great gift to share with people. For some people, a hug is considered to be a great way to say “I care”. A hug communicates support, affection (喜愛), unity and belonging. A hug shows a strong feeling of sympathy. A hug brings happiness. A hug also touches the soul.

Hugs are healthy. Hugs can ease pain, reduce stress, cure depression (消沉), and refresh the heart, yet they have no side effects... No wonder, it is a true miracle medicine.

A hug can say “I love you”. A hug can say “I hate to see you go”. A hug can say “It’s good to have you back”. A hug can say “It’s great to see you”. A hug can say “I feel your pain”. A hug can also say “Let me share your burden”.

No matter whether you’re the giver or the receiver, hugs touch the inner being. From friends, to families, to loved ones, to those in need, a hug warms the heart.

A hug is truly amazing. It brings generosity (慷慨) to the giver and happiness to the receiver. It brings blessings to those who give and joy to those who receive.

Hugs are one of the reasons why God gave us arms. So, stretch out your arms to someone today. Reach out to those you love. It will warm the heart of the giver and give light to the soul of the receiver.

The parents’ role

1.

In the early years, parents are their children’s first teachers — exploring nature, reading together, cooking together, and counting together. When a young child begins formal school, the parents’ job is to show him how school can extend the learning they began together at home, and how exciting and meaningful this learning can be. As preschoolers grow into school-age kids, parents become their children’s learning coaches.

2.

“One of the most important things a parent can do is noticing her child. Is he a talker or is he shy? Find out what interests him and help him explore it. Let your child show you the way he likes to learn,” recommends Dalton Miller-Jones, Ph.D.

3.

Many teachers encourage parents to go over what their children are learning in a non-pressured way and to practice what they have learnt. This doesn’t mean training them for success, but it may mean going over basic counting skills, multiplication tables or letter recognition, depending on the needs and learning level of their child.

4.

Make learning part of your child’s everyday experience, especially when it comes out of your child’s natural questions. When you cook together, do measuring math. When you drive in the car, count license plates and talk about the states. When you turn on the blender, explore how it works together.

5.

Take up a new language or craft, or read about an unfamiliar topic. Show your child what you are learning and how you may be struggling. You’ll gain a better understanding of what your child is going through and your child may develop learning skills by watching.
