7 Ways To Show Your Kids How Special They Are

1. Write your child a note. Do you enjoy getting notes from the people you love? So does your kid! Try tucking it into their backpack, the smile on their face is priceless!

2. Play with your child. Don't waste your travel time to sports practice or school, or any of the many other places you dash to everyday. You can slip in a word game with your kids and make the drive time fun for both of you – not to mention saving you from car fights between bored siblings.

3. Give hugs. After our kids outgrow the baby stage, many do not get the physical affection they would like. Children need hugs to thrive – so take a minute and hug your kid – you'll both feel better.

4. Read, read, and read! Reading together offers a shared adventure that television just cannot compare with. It also helps with schooling in the long run.

5. Brag about your child. Although it is important to be supportive when you talk to your child, it is even more important to be supportive when you talk about him or her. 

6. Surprise your kid. Do something unusual with them as kids love surprises, so don't wait for a special occasion before having an outing together. 

7. Frame a photo of the two of you, and display it in their room.
