Simple Ways To Make Your Child Feel Special
Originally published at As My Life Is. You can comment here or there.
Counting down the days till I become a single mum (for real), this article made its way into my inbox in good timing.
These are the highlights on ways to make your child feel special:
Create little morning moments
Snuggle and cuddle
Make up special stories
Ask for help
Break the rules
Have fun at bedtime
Get silly
Use your words
And just pay attention to the little things
Actually, Clare and I do most of these fairly regularly - we snuggle and cuddle in the mornings, I play too much with her before bedtime (and paid dearly for it when she had really bad nightmares a few nights ago), make up silly stories, give each other funny nicknames and I get her to help around a little in the house.
It’s always nice to know that I’m somewhat on track and not headed towards an epic disaster, yet!
