 1. What is Love?

Author: Dr Cheng Wan-Ni
Publisher: SCCL Press
Publication Date: June, 2024
ISBN: 978-981-94-0069-0

       What is love? Can I eat or touch it? Will love disappear or diminish? Where can we hide love? Let Ah Ma tell us the story.

Introduction

       Love is an abstract concept which different people may have different interpretations. It is even harder for children to understand the concept of love. Love encompasses sharing, giving, sacrificing, kindness, loyalty and more. Parents or caregivers play an important role in nurturing children's social emotional development as children imitate adults' body language, actions, and words. Based on the feelings and attachment with parents developed through intimate interactions, children will gradually build their self-esteem and learn to accept others. The author presents the concept of love through episodes of family interaction. Love is not about sacrificing oneself or obedience, but about mutual respect and companionship. With love, parents will nurture and guide the children when they are young; in turn, the adult children will keep the parents accompanied when they grow old.

       Love is simple as we are always surrounded by love in daily life; however, love can also be hard as there may be challenges to overcome in different occasions.
