Vietnamese Family Day (June 28) is an opportunity for everyone to look towards their family, express their love and cherish what they have.
Accordingly, many families maintain teaching children by sending short, warm messages to grandparents, parents or siblings in thank-you boxes as a way to spread positive energy and help the family bond become stronger.
According to Ms. Pham Thu Trang (Mac Thai Tong, Hanoi), the family has built habits for their children from a young age, from preparing a small, pretty paper box or wooden box that is both decorated on the shelf and a "private mailbox" for the family. There, family members can send loving words or "unspeakable" confidences so that the family can share and give advice.
Not only on Vietnamese Family Day, but at any time, family members can send their thoughts written on a small piece of paper and then put them in a thank you box.
Understanding and appreciation are the foundation of a happy family home. The thank you box is a great way to connect with family members. This is also a form of helping children learn to express their thoughts and feelings as well as know how to say thank you at the right time when receiving support and love from their families.
This habit, if maintained regularly in the family, will help generations erase the distance, so that each member understands more about each other's feelings and thoughts as well as cherishes what they have.
Grandparents, parents or children will feel a positive source of energy with a always cheerful and warm atmosphere and especially each individual will see love and recognition of the effort and achievements they have achieved.
Besides, the written notes placed in the thank you box will be special souvenirs that the family can keep as memorable moments of the family over the years.
