We do a lot of gift giving at our house! There is one rule to this however it has to be a home made gift. The kids really love making pictures, cards, biscuits and the like. I also think it helps to boost their confidence too.

I totally believe that Love needs to be expressed through words. I have friends who always ends every call with ‘love you’ with their family eventhough it was a heated argument.. and I find that really moving. It’s great how they can express their love so easily.

I love these suggestions. One I might add is to spend time reading to your child. It’s a great excuse for snuggling, plus it gives your little ones time to ask questions, voice their opinion and just spend time with you. It really doesn’t cost anything, and it helps teach your child to appreciate books and reading, which is a valuable lesson that will help them through school and the rest of their life. Reading to my daughter when she little was one of my favorite things to do and even though she is grown now, she remembers those times. When she got older, I use to read her a chapter a night from a book and now she does the same thing with her boys.
