18 Ways to Love Your Kids Here are five from my list (the full list is linked in the post): 1. Be willing to let the next busy item go. There will always be one more item on the to-do list. There will not always be a four year old who wants to kick a soccer ball with you in the backyard or a teenager asking for you to go to Starbucks with them. Let the agenda go every once in awhile and put them on the top. 2. Always tell them good night and I love you. It takes 11 seconds. Tell them goodnight. Let them know you love them. They may know, they may roll their eyes, they may not even listen, but those I love you’s add up and add up and add up. 3. Don’t always have the answers, just listen. Sometimes they just need us to hear them and not give solutions. They need a shoulder and to know that you’re there no matter what for them. Sure the problem may seem small, but in their world it’s huge. Just be there. 4. Turn off your phone for just a bit. Or put it on mute. Or turn off notifications. Or just leave inside while you play outside. Or well, you get it. Distractions abound in today’s world and now it takes a conscious choice to be present. 5. Be willing to be silly. Or laugh. Or dance in the rain. Or just be with them. Life is full of serious, hard, challenging, and trying moments. Let their lives be sprinkled with moments of laughter and you being full of life. Not only will they love it but you’ll be profoundly grateful for that moment. Im looking forward to hearing some of your ways that you love your kids. ~Rachel
