The figure of singer Vidi Aldiano was widely known as a person who\nwas warm, friendly, and full of empathy. Many people who had interacted\nwith him regarded Vidi as a figure capable of making others feel valued\nand accepted. This character once again became the focus of public\nattention following his passing. Many friends and colleagues remembered\nVidi as someone sincere in building relationships with others.<\/p>\n
According to Vera Itabiliana Hadiwidjojo, a clinical child and\nadolescent psychologist from the Psychology Institute at the University\nof Indonesia (UI), a warm character such as that displayed by Vidi can\nactually be formed from childhood onwards. The concept describes\nchildren\u2019s emotional needs that must be fulfilled through attention and\naffection from those closest to them, especially family.<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren who have a full tank of affection typically will be more\nconfident, think positively about others, and find it easier to\ndemonstrate empathy and care,\u201d said Vera, as cited by ANTARA on Tuesday\n(10 March 2026).<\/p>\n
She explained that children who grow up in an environment that\nprovides emotional safety tend to have better social abilities. When\nchildren feel accepted, valued, and loved for who they are, they will\nmore easily understand and feel the emotions of others.<\/p>\n
This can be achieved through providing attention, spending time\ntogether, and showing affection through touch and positive words.<\/p>\n
Vera emphasised that not only material support is important for\nchildren. Parents also need to demonstrate empathy in daily\ninteractions, for instance by listening to the child\u2019s stories and\nunderstanding what they feel.<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren accustomed to being treated empathetically will learn to be\nempathetic towards others as well,\u201d said Vera.<\/p>\n
However, Vera noted that this can still be achieved through\nconsistent quality time every day. She recommended that parents set\naside approximately 10 to 15 minutes daily to truly be present with\ntheir child without distraction from gadgets or work.<\/p>\n
During such moments, parents can give their full attention when the\nchild speaks, provide hugs or warm touch, and convey appreciation and\npositive words that make the child feel valued.<\/p>\n
With such an approach, children will grow with emotional security.\nThis sense of security is the important foundation for the development\nof warm, caring, and empathetic character. It is precisely such\ncharacter traits that are remembered from the figure of Vidi Aldiano,\nwho during his lifetime was known to bring warmth to those around\nhim.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/like-vidi-aldiano-childrens-warm-character-can-be-formed-from-the-tank-of-affection-1773150787", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
