The Importance of Interaction

Parents, sometimes worry that they don’t have the money they don’t have the time or they can buy their kids fancy toys, computers, and iPads and iPhones. But it's wrong perception, talking to your kids, for instant, cuddling and playing with them. Playing hide and seek behind a book or behind pots and pans doesn’t cost a dime. It only takes the knowledge that interaction is extremely important for child development. That’s love, we need to look at a child and acknowledge their presences and love them with our hearts.

"You should spend more time to playing with them. It's fun when my child and I draw together or play in the rain. Besides building the relationship between father and child. There is another reason, the children who grow up on the right track during their development. Will become the strongest adults, the best ones." Meritorious Artist Nguyen Xuan Bac, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
