When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked   26  at me and said “I love you”. I didn’t know what to say.    27   several seconds I stood there and    28   down at him. My first thought was that he must need   29   while doing his homework   30   he was trying to prepare me for some   31   .

“   32   ,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment.”

The next day I   33   his teacher at my office to find out more about this “   34   ” and how the other parents had responded (反应).

“  35   , most of the fathers did the same as you ,: the teacher explained, “Feeling   36   is an important part of   37  . It’s something all human beings  38  . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too   39   that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be  40   to tell his dad that he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for  41  of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

I didn’t know if saying that would make  45  of us healthier, but we did feel pretty better.
