Fatherhood 101 『練』愛 練習說愛
by Jed Miller

Learning to show love, one hug at a time.
學著表達愛意,從一個擁抱開始。

  For some fathers, showing their softer side is the hardest part of being a father. Something as seemingly simple as a hug, or verbalizing "I love you" might be a struggle. Expressing anger may come easily, but expressing love may bring out some difficulties. Fathers in this predicament can go back to school. _(1)_
  Here, men learn the basics of being an affectionate father. _(2)_ The multi-day courses are set up like a class, with lectures, small-group discussions, and even homework.
  The program was originally started in Seoul, Korea, in 1995. It has since spread to over 20 countries. _(3)_ Fathers have little time to develop healthy relationships with their families. They may also have had fathers who were distant, so they lack first-hand knowledge. These men find that they easily become "outsiders" in their own families.
  The organization was founded on conservative Christian values and ambitiously hopes to have an impact outside of their father's school. According to the group, "Our aim is to change society by first changing the father." _(4)_
  This graduation ceremony is an emotional event for fathers and their families with lots of tears and happy smiles. _(5)_ When all is said and done, fathers get something more valuable than a diploma or certificate — they get a better family.

(A) As part of the curriculum, fathers practice saying "I love you," hugging sincerely, and expressing their feelings.
(B) At the ceremony, graduates wash the feet of their wives, as Jesus did for his own disciples.
(C) The founders of the program sensed a problem with absentee fathers, caused by the long hours that Korean men work to financially support their families.
(D) No universities or colleges offer courses that teach these skills, so the Duranno Father's School stepped in to fill the gap.
(E) After finishing all the courses, parents learn how to balance work and family.
(F) A strong father is the head of the family, and from strong families grows a strong society.

『練』愛 練習說愛
學著表達愛意,從一個擁抱開始。
  對某些爸爸來說,要表現出他們溫柔的一面是當一個父親最困難的部份。像擁抱或用言語表達出『我愛你』這樣似乎很簡單的事情或許是件難事。表達出憤怒可能還比較容易,但要表達愛意大概就會帶來一些困難。陷入這種困境的父親可以重返學校。沒有大專院校提供教導這些技巧的課程,因此推喇奴爸爸學校挺身而出,填補這個空缺。
  在這裡,男人能學到作為一名深情的父親所需的基本技巧。課堂上,爸爸們練習說出『我愛你』、真誠地擁抱,以及表達他們的感情。這些為期數天的課程以班級的形式呈現,包含授課、小組討論,甚至還有家庭作業。
  這個計劃最初是在 1995 年於南韓首爾開始的。自那時起,該計劃已傳至二十多個國家。這個計劃的創辦人察覺到父親經常不在家的問題,這是因為韓國男人為了養家活口長時間在外頭工作所造成的。父親們沒有多少時間能與家人們發展出健全的關係。他們過去對自己的父親或許也感到很疏遠,因而缺乏第一手知識。這些男人發現他們很容易成為自己家庭的『局外人』。
  這個組織建立於傳統基督教教義之上,滿懷雄心地希望能在他們這所爸爸學校以外產生影響。根據該組織所言:『我們的目的是藉由先改變父親,進而改變社會。』堅強的父親才能成為一家之主,而堅強的社會來自堅強的家庭。
  這個畢業典禮對父親們與他們的家人來說都是充滿淚水與開心笑容的感人場面。在典禮上,畢業生替他們的妻子洗腳,就如同耶穌基督為自己的門徒所做的一樣。到頭來,父親們獲得的是比學位或證書更重要的東西 ── 他們獲得一個更美好的家庭。
