The other day, I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness. He had won some lollies(棒棒糖) in a prize machine in the local supermarket, so I asked him if he would like to share his win with the next child that walked past. He was hesitant because he was a shy little boy, but he said yes after I encouraged him a bit.
A father and his child passed by us. I went to the father and asked if my son could give his daughter a lolly that he had won. The father. looked at me sideways and was unsure what to say. I explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness. At last, he said okay.
We went to his daughter, but to my surprise, the little girl wouldn't accept the lolly! My son didn't feel pleased by the fact that she wouldn't accept his offering and then he told me in a low voice, "We go to the same school. "
When we left the supermarket, I explained to my son that people in the world that day were not so open to kindness because their thoughts and opinions had been shaped by the past and I told him not to be unhappy.

We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem ﹣ until COVID 19 arrived.Touching our faces ﹣ the "T﹣zone' 'of our eye, nose and mouth ﹣ can mean giving ourselves this virus.
This is why some organizations have suggested that we should avoid touching our faces.William Sawyer, from Henry the Hand. told The Washington Post, "Just stop this simple behavior,and that would be better than any vaccine (疫苗)lever created,"
However, stopping this "simple" behavior might he harder than you think because we are used to it.
Some face﹣touching is an automatic reaction: like when there is an itch (痒) on your nose,you'll touch it again and again without thinking. A 2014 study found that touching your face also helps you to have less stress.For example. it's possible for you to do it when you feel embarrassed.According to Dacher Kelmer, a psychologist an the University of Califormia Berkeley, Us. this action may also have a social use: When you are taking to someone, for example, touching your face means you want to talk about another thing.
Besides, it's very hard to change this face touching "because you don't even kn6w you're doing it",said Sawyer.
But you're not alone. In a 2015 study. it was found that a group of medical students touched their faces about 23 times an hour ﹣ with 44 percent of the touches in the T﹣zones" , That was very surprising because medical students should know better.
Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often.This way, we can be sure that our hands are safe from COVID﹣19.
