Today, as I was discussing Miserable Millie's love in the family, one of my students bluntly said "Teacher, I don't like my family!" I asked why? And he exclaimed, "Because they always scold me." I then took the opportunity to explain to children that most of the time, your mummies and daddies scold you because they love you. And that it is because they don't want you to be in trouble. Furthermore, I told them that sometimes NO means I LOVE YOU! Mummy and daddy would sometimes say NO to our request, for example watching TV late at night. They would say no because you need energy in the morning when you go to school. There is a reason in everything, your parents doesn't just say NO because they want to. They say NO because they LOVE YOU! :-)
Then, we sang our song:
Love, love, love, Love, love, love
See how it grows, See how it grows
I love my family and they love me too
We love each other and it's plain to see
Love, love, love, Love, love, love
*to the tune of Three Blind Mice
