Being a parent can be one of the happiest experiences of your life, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. No matter how old your children are, your work is never done. To be a good parent, you need to know how to make your children feel valued and loved, while teaching them the differences between right and wrong. If you want to know how to be a good parent, read the following steps.

Give your children love and affection(情感). Sometimes the best thing you can give your children is love and affection. A warm touch or a caring hug can let your children know how much you really care about them. Don’t ever overlook how important a physical connection is when it comes to your children.

Praise your children. Praising your children is an important part of being a good parent. You want your kids to feel proud of their achievements and good about themselves. If you don’t give them the confidence they need to be out in the world on their own, then they won’t feel allowed to be independent. When they do something good, let them know that you’ve noticed and you’re very proud of them.

Listen to your children. It’s important that your communication with your children goes both ways. You shouldn’t just be there to enforce(执行) the rules, but to listen to your children when they are having problems.

Lucky Money

Chinese New Year Celebration is the most important celebration of the year. Chinese people may celebrate it in slightly different ways but their wishes are almost the same; they want their family members and friends to be healthy and lucky during next year.

Chinese New Year Celebration usually lasts for 15 days. The celebration activities include eating the dinner on the New Year’s Eve, setting off fireworks, giving some children lucky money. It is the money given to kids from their parents and grandparents as a New Year gift. The money is believed to bring good luck, so it is called “lucky money”. Parents and grandparents first put money in small, especially-made red envelopes and give the red envelopes to their kids after the New Year’s Feast or when they come to visit them on the New Year. They choose to put the money in red envelopes because Chinese people think red is a lucky color. They just hope the red envelopes will bring good luck to the kids.

Nowadays, e-hongbao is quite popular in China. It is considered that e-hongbao comes originally from “lucky money” for the Spring Festival. It’s a new convenient way to send greetings and wishes. People hope to get good luck from it.
