Encourage your kids

From the book, Kids are Worth It...I am quoting it all the time. Seriously, if you want to change the way you are parenting, read it.

Here are the 6 critical messages you need to send your kids every day:
I believe in you
I trust in you
I know you can handle this
You are listened to
You are cared for
You are very important to me

Do you you actually give your kids these messages, or do you just assume they already know? They don't. And even if they do now, they may forget that you still love them (especially if they are caught doing something wrong). Tell them everyday.
