Ingrid Bergman: "A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous."
The apple never falls far from the tree.
1. Always listen attentively to what your children have to say to you. This would build their self-esteem and reiterates that their opinion is important too.
2. Do not take external stresses out on your children. You have had a long hard day, they should not have to hear the brunt of it. As a way to relax and distress rather look to spend quality time with your children.
3. Be openly excited about every new discovery and development that they make. Even the smallest of small accomplishments are a big deal. Just because something seems jaded to you, it does not mean you have to quell your children's excitement, be very overly excited with them.
4. Arrange some special activity time for you and your children. Bake cookies together and make a real great mess, or watch your child's favorite movie, even though you might already have seen it several times, watch it again as if you are seeing it for the first time.
5. Give your child his own choices to make whenever possible. This makes them feel more in control, and confident or their lives. It also teaches them the value of making good decisions.
6. Whenever you can say yes to all the little things your child wants.
7. Tell them constantly all the things you love them more than. For example tell them you love them more than the very tasty chocolate bunnies, or that you love them more than the sunshine. Think up creative ways to tell them you love them more than anything.
8. When our children misbehave, rather discipline them with love.
9. Every time you great your child, make sure to touch them in any way possible. With a hug, a kiss or just a hand on the shoulder, just touch them.
10. Teach them what the importance is of being in a loving secure family relationship.
Antione de Saint-Exupery said: "Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
1. Also be a good friend. Make yourself available for phone calls, coffee and support whenever the need may arise. Something as simple as helping your friend move house shows your deep appreciation of the connection you two share.
2. When you see something that reminds or makes you think of your friend, send them a quick message or just give them a quick call.
3. Give your friends compliments. It makes them feel good and special.
4. Take the old fashioned route, send them flowers or bake them a cake or a batch of cookies just out of the blue for no reason at all.
Focus on them, the special people in you life, show them you love them and that they are important to you. Do not let your life rush by without showing them how much you care for them each and every day. Build a healthy happy family, and really show them that you love them each and every day.
Make this year a year without words. Obviously you still need to verbalize how much you care about someone, the special people in your life, but also make that special effort to spread the love with your actions. Go on, I dare you to make a difference and brighten someone's day, today! Build a healthy happy family with the love you spread around.
