Teacher earns praise for greeting children with special handshake before class

Teachers are often considered as children’s second parents because they are not just mentors who teach the kids what they needed to learn in school but also life lessons. This is especially considering how they spend a lot of time with the children and are also a strong influence in their lives.

While many teachers are considered as ‘terror’ ones who seem to feel happier when the students are always at the edge of their seats, there are also a lot of loving teachers who know how to keep their students motivated.

Each day, the teacher greets the children at the door with a special handshake before class. What makes this handshake extra special is that it is unique for each kid! Thus, the child looks forward to greeting the teacher and being in class, especially because he/she feels unique and loved by this kind teacher.

According to Mothership SG, this was no ordinary handshake because she also incorporates lessons in them by counting with the children in English, Thai, or Chinese from 1 to 13. This beautiful teacher was also quite patient with her kids and would not force them to be perfect in their routine.

When they make a mistake, she gently corrects this and starts over again, all the while encouraging her students to try.

She also makes sure that each child gets a unique ending to the handshake and gives each one a hug. What a way to start a beautiful day in school!

The video has understandably gone viral, gaining over 1.2 million views and over 41k reactions.
