- It's the same every time my family goes back to our hometown. The only thing I worry about is my two children. I keep telling them to remember everyone's names, to greet their aunts, uncles, and cousins properly, but sometimes they remember, sometimes they forget. As a result, I often get scolded...
- They're still carefree and young!
- They're middle school students now, not little kids anymore, but my two kids are shy and reserved. I've taught them how to greet people, but sometimes they say they've forgotten faces, names, or are just "too lazy" to say hello... then they go completely silent, staring blankly at strangers...
My husband always reminds our children: In the countryside, whether it's a stranger or an acquaintance, the first thing to do when meeting someone is to greet them. That's a sign of friendliness and politeness. If you don't greet them, it's easy for others to think you're being disrespectful.
- I see it's the same not only in the countryside but everywhere, my friend. Our ancestors used to say, "A greeting is worth more than a feast," which reminds us of the importance of greetings. A greeting costs nothing, takes no time, but it has immense value. A greeting can bridge gaps, bring joy, and sometimes even change the attitude of someone who was previously a stranger or unapproachable...
If you explain to your children the benefits and value of greetings, they will surely use them more often in their lives!
