During their early years, children need to be grounded in love. Many parents love their children, but they have a difficult time expressing it to them. Practically speaking, you can express love to your children by coming right out and saying, I love you. You can write them notes, affirm them with gentle touch, and do acts of kindness. Helping your children understand the love of God is the greatest gift that you can give them. You will not always be there to love them, but God will.
