Wednesday's Tip

MAKING TIME JUST FOR THE TWO OF YOU:
Making dates with our children sends a powerful message that s/he is worthy of our time and UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. Children feel a sense of how much we love and honor their uniqueness, especially during one-on-one time. This tradition is even more crucial with families with many siblings. Dates can be once a week or once a month depending on your schedule and how many children you have. You take turns deciding what to do and where to go. Activities can be as simple as going for a hike or a movie - or as complex as starting a book club. This activity harnesses esteem for the RELATIONSHIP! Every time you do something that enhances self worth, you are raising their self esteem!
Give this a try and watch the self esteem grow!
