we are happy family with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,
won't you say you love me too.
I love you, you love me
we're best friends like friends should be with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,
won't you say you love me too.
This is Noren's favorite song. He often smiles when he hears this song. Though he may not understand the meaning now, he will know it when he grows up.
I also like to listen to this song. It is about love within family and friends. If we love someone, we will be loved! Be nice to others, others be nice to you. I explained the meaning of this song to little Noren though I know that he may not get all the points. I expect one day he will understand.
To me, a good song is not a song for us to sing along, but it is a song with meaningful. It has to be both good lyrics and music. According to this song, it is important to show our love to others if we want to be loved.
This is the first sentiment lesson that I try to educate my little boy. I hope he will be loved and will have full of love in the whole life.
Kindhearted mummy

A child’s emotional development is very influenced by the quality of the relationship or attachment that is developed between the parent/s and child. It’s great to see Noren’s mum making sure that she and Noren have a strong relationship built on love and trust. This will stand him in good stead for all his life.
Noren’s mum also said that she explained the meaning of this song to Noren even though she knows that “he may not get all the points. I expect one day he will understand.”
Even though Noren won’t understand it all, the good message and feeling is becoming part of his implicit memory, as distinct from extrinsic memory. Implicit memory is a form of memory that is outside of conscious awareness – it records those memories, those emotional experiences that are not part of our conscious, explicit memory.
Good experiences like this help young children to memorize and then later overcome feelings of helpless or abandonment, of being overwhelmed or inundated, or feeling panicked or irritated.
