Some important things you should tell your children I love you. I will always love you. No matter what you do, you’ll always be my child. I love you, but I’m still going to discipline you. Yes, I’ll forgive you. Will you forgive me? I messed up. You’re so valuable to me. Yes, I’ll drop what I’m doing to play. No, I’m not too busy. You drew that?!? Amazing! I’m proud of you. You slipped up, but you’re still precious to me. Can we talk? Let’s hang out. You’re safe with me. Yes, I’ll help. Let’s go on a date! (dad to daughter, or mom to son) To boys specifically: Never treat your mother with disrespect. Never. To boys specifically: it’s okay to cry. stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves. To girls specifically: You’re worth far more than rubies. To girls specifically: you’re beautiful. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not. To girls specifically: you’re my princess, and you always will be. Love those that nobody else loves. There is no problem so big that you can’t come to me. You’ll never do anything to lose my love. You have so many gifts. Can I help you use them? I will always want what is best for you. It’s okay if you mess up. I mess up, too. No matter where you are or what you’ve done, if something’s wrong, call me. I’ll come running. I don’t care if your friends get to do that. I’m your parent, not theirs. Be a good friend. Others will love you for it. It’s okay to be upset. Your mom and dad aren’t perfect. But we love you unconditionally. Would you have grown up differently if you had heard these said to you often? If you did grow up hearing these things how did it make you feel and do you continue doing this for your own children? How great would it feel to know that you are so valuable to your parents and that you are often told of what you mean to them? #SVSG #BETHECHANGE #MAKINGADIFERENCE #RAISINGAWARENESS
