Traditionally, Asian families may not be as verbal and openly affectionate toward their children as families are expected to be in a standard American family (CACF, 2011). In a YouTube video called “Asian Parents React to I Love You” is a video about college Asian students away from home, discussing about the last time they said the words “I Love You” to their parents. The video showed 3 out of 5 people never had said “I love you to their parents before. One of the male students said “I never said I love you to my parents, and that’s probably because they never said it to me, so love was more shown through actions (2014).”
