No, I'm not addicted to this point, but it still feels really good. And because it's good for morale, I maintain the thing. Come to hug me (when the weather obviously, not when I'm asking you guys for the 15th time you put in place ...). And often I ask.
Try to stay tired, pensive or in your bubble when children recognize you on the street you say hello with force (if not with a smile from ear to ear) then you literally jump into his arms. It looks back Canayen you and you stamp a smile on his face. Even without the cuddling part, it feels good, especially when the famous greetings come from students who have every reason to avoid you since their last period free in your presence has passed "on the bench."
It gives a boost of energy.
Examples?
- Returning work tonight, I got four for the price of one. Four elementary school children, playful and smiling, who, seeing me at the bus stop, crossed the street to come see me and jump into his arms. A girl who every time she sees me take its course and just shake my strong, his brother and two friends. We chatted for their projects, laughed a little and then they left their small business.
- When I made that famous first last internship, I had a moment of frank despair. All other children in the class saw it. The evidence that children are real sponges. A student from the top of its five years, came beside me and rubbed his back, saying she could not find it pleasant for me what he did. These few circles in my back makes me so although I still remember.
- An old former student volunteer, I reviewed teen day camp where I worked, I literally jumped in my arms. And no, there was no trip "chest" hidden beneath the maneuver. He is too polite, innocent and naive, switched on in his speech, wise and honest for that. Mature enough and children 14 years for agreeing to tighten a teacher in his arms without ulterior motives. However, I have already had to be strict enough with him, little rascal! Seems it did not do this too traumatized teenager half a head taller than me! Since this was famous, I wonder what happened to them, he and his aged wisdom. It should be 19 years now.
That's the advantage of working in my neighborhood. Every day, I could have "my fix" of hellos and hugs. And it can also be hellos and smiles from parents. I never know when or where, it can be in the aisle of soda crackers, at the meat counter or in a subway car. It can also be installed when I am in my lounge chair in my backyard or at the clinic. Some of my colleagues do not like the idea, and I always tell them that children are smart enough and quick to understand that I'm in my bubble, my private life. After their 2-3 friendly hello and trade, they're going, happy, but respectful of my privacy. The myth of the closet where the teachers are given on Friday and sleep until the following Monday to take in his cold, but hey, it must be so for then they stop believing in Santa Claus!
It's good for everybody ... and I would be very foolish not to ask for more!
