You know, so many of us parents get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and take our kids for granted.
Especially when it is so simple to let them know how much we care.
When your child talks to you, make sure they have your full attention.
Get down to their eye level, and smile as you answer them.
Let them know that you're interested in what they have to say.
When they tell you a joke, laugh with them. Tell them one of your own — preschoolers love "knock knock" jokes!
Introduce your children to friends when you see them at church or the grocery store.
So often we forget this simple courtesy when it comes to our kids, but it lets them know that they're an important part of the family.
It's not that hard to let our kids know how much we value them, but it does take a little extra thought.
