Four ways to love your kid



Tell your kid that you love him
The Bible tells us in Psalm 37:26 that children are a blessing. And now there is a day to celebrate our kids! We will encourage you to write a letter to your kids today. So a letter is a great idea. But what are some other things you can do to show your child that he or she is exceptionally special

• nothing can quite compare to hearing Mom or Dad say he’s wonderful. Watch your kid’s face light up and heart swell when you brag on him and tell him what an awesome kid he is

• Send an E-Card. If your child spends a lot of time on the computer and has his own e-mail address, send him one or more e-cards, telling him how much he means to you

• Do his chores. If it’s your son’s job to set the table , do it for him. The fact that not only does he get a day off from his chores but that you’re doing the work for him speaks volumes of love and appreciation to your child

• let your kid choose what to eat for dinner . They’ll not only have incredibly full tummies, but also incredibly full hearts

Of course, kids should be told they are special every day – not just one day of the year. However, use this day to begin the habit of demonstrating just how important your child is. To you, to the world, and to God.
