My 17-year-old daughter went off to collége and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little.In the classic TV production,one scene in particular impressed me:when Mrs Darling puts her children into bed.As she turns off the last of the night lights,she takes one last look at the bedroom and says,"Dear night lights,protect my sleeping children."As à mother,I know how much she loves her children.
It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness.For us,though,it's another story.Like most parents,I love checking in on my children at night.But now she's gone,and I find nighttime the hardest.I miss her most at night.
In my neighborhood,most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar sadness.My husband is filled with anxiety.One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off.We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.
For us moms,seeing Toy Story 3(玩具總動員3)only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy,who is the same age as our kids,say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college.And it's not just "first-time"parents like me.Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn't get any easier."You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,"said one of them.
I imagine things will get easier with time,especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life.Meanwhile,as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter good night and sweet dreams every night,I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

2."Quick,quick,slow,slow," my husband said as I was trying to focus.We frequently stepped on each other's feet.Both of us were being rhythmically challenged,and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the dancing floor.However,it didn't.
It didn't matter that the lessons didn't pay off.Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories,such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (雞尾酒) in a common bar.These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years.We always have such a great time when we're trying something new together.It seems to have strengthened our relationship,and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
It turns out my theory as such is backed by research.One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶),friends,or partners,can strengthen your connection or friendship.But how exactly does this work?The key is vulnerability(弱點). "Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,"says Dr.Hisla Bates. "When we are learning a new task,misfortunes and failures are bound to happen.In those moments when we fail,the other party can be there in favor of us.We can work together to find a solution,and working together helps deepen the connection."
The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking,trying a new recipe,going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together.You don't have to bungee jump or skydive to grow closer.Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with,as this will ensure you're on the same page.
Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends.Overall,some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.
