Encouragement, With Love!

Parents, are you looking for a fun way to connect with your kids? We have found a great idea you can use to remind your kids how much they are loved!

Take a moment and write in a journal about experiences you and your child have had, funny things your child has done or thoughts you want your child to read in the future. It is a great thing to do so that your kid(s) feel proud and validated about their accomplishments! Another idea is to do a "high five". As the parent, say five different things you know or love about them. They may even challenge you to a "high ten"! You can also leave simple notes on the counter before breakfast to start your child's day with a positive note.
Remember to always observe, cherish and engage in your children's lives while they are young. Building a strong parental bond will help grow a strong relationship for a lifetime.
