Simple Ways to Show Your Kids You Love Them -- 2

Remember Them

Just like grownups, children want to be reassured that you miss them when you are apart. Let them know that you are thinking of them when you are not together
If your child is the one going out of the home, send a memento with them: a note in their lunchbox, a funny picture of you together
If you are the one leaving, bring back something for them. It doesn’t have to be fancy or cost you anything

Here are some things our children have appreciated
.a quick picture snapped by a cellphone camera of something fun from the day
.the free stickers they hand out at the grocery store
.a doodle you made for them
.an interesting leaf or pebble (we love heart-shaped stones at our house
.a flower picked just for them
