Today, Mandi at Motherhood Your Way wrote about 30 Ways to Show Your Kids You Love Them. We often get so busy taking care of the physical needs of our kids (which all show our love), but it is in those special tender moments that our relationships with our kids really deepen. I remember when I was growing up, my Mom would write little notes in my lunchbox (my really cool Muppets lunchbox!) that were just simple, but so special to me.
A few I would add to her awesome list:
- Laugh with them, all the time. They do and say the funniest and sweetest things 🙂
- Hug them, all the time, and let them hug you, tight.
- Get down to their level when talking or listening to them.
- Smile at them, even if it is across the room.
- Go for walks together, and create adventures.
- Be involved in their hobbies and interests, and let them be involved in yours.
