Parenting is full of responsibilities that go far beyond feeding and clothing our children and teaching them right from wrong. We often feel ourselves being pulled in a thousand different directions from personal and work responsibilities, to school activities, soccer, baseball, gymnastics, karates, birthday parties, family gatherings, church events and more. When life gets busy and we are pulled in a hundred different directions we sometimes forget to take the time to appreciate those that are closest to us.
Being a kid is tough and navigating the world can be daunting and nothing can be more comforting that a parent’s love. Of course, you can say “I Love You,” but if your kids are like mine, they roll their eyes and say, “I know, mom!” with a huffy voice. They need to hear it, they want to hear it, but they are kids so they have to act as if we annoy them.
The best way to get their attention is to catch them off guard and tell them you love them in a way they aren’t expecting. They may still roll their eyes but it will make them think for a minute before they do. Fortunatly, there is no shortage of adorable love quotes that are perfect for kids young and old.
