Love, Affection and Knowledge

Earlier this year, Heguru founders have mentioned some changes happening in June. One of it is a short talk by the sensei on RB development. I've actually forgotten about it until we were told to stay behind after Valerie's class to listen to a short talk by the founder.

It turned out to be a video clip of Mr Henmi talking to us on 'Love, Affection and Knowledge'. It was in Japanese with English translation. As Valerie was bouncing up and down, I tried to grasp as much as I can what was being shown on the video. Here is a very short summary of what I can remember.

Love, Affection and Knowledge


Many parents like to emphasise children on education. When a child is forced on knowledge, her heart will be closed. When heart is closed, she will not feel the affection and the brain cannot develope to its fullest potential.

There are 2 aspects of Love

1. Physical Touch - give your child a lot of hugs and cuddles. She will be able to feel your love towards her.

2. Words of Affection - always smile to them, telling them everything is alright.

When Love grows, Affection will grows too. Then the mind will be open to Knowledge
