It’s funny that bedtime which is supposed to be the most relaxing time of the day is sometimes when kids get the most active. This is when so much cajoling comes into play in trying to get the little ones to sleep. Does this happen in your home too?

If I were to describe mine for today, it would giving the tightest hug this afternoon and not forgetting face pecks. How about you? 😊

We love our children.

Overflowing, unconditional, real love. 💕

And as parents, we want them to feel that.

So how can we do that — aside from telling them we love them?

Here are three ways you can put love into action — every day, in simple, doable ways:

💕 Be near them: hold their hand, give them a hug or a cuddle.
💕 Compliment them: build up their self-confidence and teach them to love themselves.
💕 Thank them: help them feel validated and good about themselves and let them know you appreciate them.

How do you put your love into action? 👇

Looking outside in, some persons might not realize that it takes a lot of work to raise a child. An African proverb actually puts that “it takes a village to raise a child”.
