举一反三
Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, approval, gratitude and forgiveness. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug on various occasions can make a world of difference in our young learner"s lives.
On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome "The First Day Fears." By the way’ giving hugs for the first full week wouldn"t hurt either. Hugs are relatively inexpensive and apparently very healthy.
It"s the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.
Usually, bedtime is the most frightening time of the day for most kids，who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight hug coupled with reading their favorite story or singing their favorite song may help them have a good sleep.
Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow.com, "A caring yet inspiring environment is always helpful in promoting a child"s language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you."
Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there"s one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug.
A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So remember to hug your children often and put emotion behind it and really mean it!
