Ten Ways To Tell Your Child "I Love You"

1. Cook something together. 2. Take a long walk together, at your child's pace. 3. Send your child a card in the mail, with stickers or a treat inside. 4. Set aside a little time each day, maybe before bedtime, to talk about what's going on in your child's life, judgment free. If your child doesn't like to talk, say "Tell me three things that happened today." If it helps, tell three things that happened to you in return. 5. Take your child out to lunch every now and then, just the two of you. 6. Do a jigsaw puzzle together. 7. Talk in the car on the way to school instead of listening to the radio. 8. Find a board game you both enjoy and schedule regular tournaments. 9. Send an encouraging note with your child's lunch. 10. Use magnetic letters to put loving messages on the fridge.
