I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said,”I 1 you.” I didn’t know what to say, and I just stood there, looking 2 at him. My first 3 was that he must need help with his homework. Then I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,” he said. ”My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and 4 what they say.”
The next day I called his teacher to 5 more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted(反应)。“Most of the fathers had the 6 response(回应) as you did,”the teacher said.”When we first 7 that we try this, I asked the children 8 they thought their parents would say.Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”
Then the teacher 9 , “I want my students to know that feeling loved is an important part of 10 . I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express our feelings. A boy 11 tell his father he loves him.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is 12 for some of us to say something that is good for us to say.
That evening when my son 13 to me, I took him in my arms and held on for an 14 moment, saying,”Hey, I love you, too.” I don’t know if saying that made 15 of us healthier,but it did feel pretty good.
