Читать книгу 101 Ways to Tell Your Child "I Love You" - Vicki Lansky - Страница 7

Introduction

Although it’s an obvious thought, I was surprised to learn from an incident with my young daughter that using the words I love you to express “I love you” wasn’t always enough. She had been a bit low for a day or two, and while the “I love you’s” and hugs were there for her, they didn’t seem to lift the cloud that hung over her.

After one particularly pleasant day, I told her when I tucked her in that night how much I had enjoyed her that day.

For many days afterward she would ask me, “Are you enjoying me?” Fortunately, I could answer YES! It was like flipping a light switch inside her.

There are so many ways to let your children know you love them. Love is shown with affection, laughter, in private times together, in hugs and kisses and in 101 other ways, such as you’ll find in this book.

You may not wish to use all of these wonderful ideas, as they will not all be comfortable for you or appropriate for your child’s age. But I do think you’ll find many new and special ways to tell your child, “I love you.”

Have a terrific time with those you use...and come up with on your own!
