Celebration of Life Day

Modern life means that the demand for everything is increasing and to meet that need, people have to work more and more. In addition to working time, parents always have to divide the time to send their children to school, take care of food and water... but they forget that spending time playing and sharing with their children is equally important. And every January 22nd is the Celebration of Life Day, which encourages people to spend time with their children or young grandchildren in the family.

Children being close to their parents will help them become healthier. According to a study by Princeton University, USA, with 5,000 young people, the absence of a father damages telomeres (repeated sequences of DNA at the ends of chromosomes) that are responsible for protecting cells. . Lack of father due to parents’ divorce shortens telomeres by 14%, without father due to death of father, telomeres decrease by 16%. Shorter telomeres have been linked to premature aging and cancer.

Besides, children who regularly receive attention from their father will have a higher IQ and your work ethic will also become better. A 2015 study found that fathers who spend more time with their children have higher job satisfaction. These men spend less time at work, but it doesn't affect their lives.

When children regularly receive care and education from their parents, they will have less trouble in life. They will develop in a healthy direction, confidently explore their surroundings and make friends more easily.

The hustle and bustle of life will make you tired and stressed for many reasons. Therefore, you should take time to rest to regain balance. Giving yourself some quiet time to see life from a different perspective can make you appreciate everything you have - especially your kids. Take time to reorganize and reflect on your children to see how lucky you have been to have them.

Life anniversaries are a great time to remind you after the hustle and bustle of work outside how special your child is, how much you love your child, and the reality of what you have for them. How big am I? This is also a time for you to look back on your child's life, to your child's future, to the day you will leave them so they can become their own people. But make sure that, even if your child grows up and has a life of his own, the bond you have with him will never be broken.
