Research by scientists shows that words of love for children have an impact not only on time, but also on the entire life of a child.
American psychologist Jeffrey Bernstein once wrote: “It’s not enough for you to love your child. If you don’t put it into words, the child won’t be able to feel your love.”
Asian parents are often afraid to express their love for their children verbally, especially when their children go through infancy. According to the traditional East Asian concept, parents think that expressing caring, nurturing… will be more meaningful and practical. However, this way of showing love leads many children to mistakenly believe that their parents do not love them. Meanwhile, Western parents are more comfortable in this regard.
Educators and psychologists have discovered the many effects of the three “I love you” words.
Children are more confident
When parents express their love for their children verbally, children are sent a message that their relationship with their parents is very positive. They can fully feel their family’s love and care for them. Love expressed in words makes children’s souls stronger, children feel safe and confident in everything they do.
A study conducted at the University of Sydney (Australia) once showed that self-confidence plays a fundamental role in a child’s life, including academic achievement, communication skills, and EQ. .. Therefore, the power of saying your child’s love, not only timely. , but also cultivate strong self-confidence, help children throughout life.
Children communicate better
Children who grow up with parents’ loving words will not only be more confident but also more empathetic than others. As children get older, they learn to see problems from another person’s point of view, are kinder and know how to help people. As a result, children build extensive social networks on their own, are able to attract people and receive help.
Children have a strong ability to express emotions
Children who hear their parents say “I love you” will respond “I love you”. That is, the child receives love and vice versa expresses love. Children’s emotional expression skills over time become better than children who do not receive emotional expressions from their parents.
More than material things, for children, love is definitely the best nutrition for their growth and development. When parents actively express their love for their children with words, children understand more about the meaning of family. In this way, children will also learn to love others and build a better life for themselves in the future.
For Asian parents, if saying love makes you hesitate, you can start by writing a message, picture, letter to your child with the three words I love you, this will mean a lot to the child.
