Things to say everyday to your children:
We say a lot of things to our children everyday we tell them what to do, where to go and when to clean up. It is time to make the things we say memorable and lasting.
Remember when a teacher or parent told you something and you got that warm, fuzzy feeling all over? That something certainly made you feel good about yourself. Remember what it was? Share that warmth and fuzzy feeling with the people you care for the most. Let them know how you feel about them.
Ask a mom when the last time she told her children she loves them she might very likely respond like the rest of us and say: “I do not remember but I know I tell them, they also know deep down I love them.”
Children know many things but it does not make a difference if they know you love them, you need to tell them over and over again.
Yup, there are things you got to tell your children or students everyday. Day in and day out, keep telling them to ingrain it in their hearts and minds.
So what are you supposed to be sharing with them?
