A teacher has been praised for her 'genius' idea that helps children feel close to their parents when they're spending time apart. The educator noticed how her four-year-old pupil would burst into tears each and every time her dad dropped her off at school for the day.
Wanting to make the separation easier, she created a 'cuddle button' and told her to press it whenever she needed a hug from her dad. Taking to Reddit, the heartbroken dad said: "This little heart on my hand is called a 'cuddle button'. Since my wife died last year, my four-year-old daughter has hated being away from me.
"Her teacher draws this on both our hands when I drop her off at school and every time we press it, it sends a hug to the other. It helps her feel connected to me." Commenting on his post, one user said: "That’s the most adorable and sad thing. I am so sorry for your loss. Keep being an amazing dad."
