- Make eye contact, even little kids can see what your thinking, how you feel through your eyes
- Let them jump on your bed
- Say wow and truly be amazed by a story they tell
- Give lots of hugs everyday
- Say I love you every night
- Say I love you every morning
- Turn off your phone, tablet, computer and give them your full attention
- Go for a walk and see the world through their eyes
- Hold up in their bedroom and play with their toys, be silly
- Teach your child deep breathing, it is a great skill that will come in handy now and in their adult lives when dealing with stress
- Don’t just give them everything they want, teach them the value of everything
- Don’t be afraid to say no
- Help them explore what they love and find their passion
- You can never spoil and child with too many cuddles
- Celebrate all achievements, no matter how insignificant they are to you, you’ll be building self-confidence in them for the future
- Don’t be afraid to get messy in the kitchen or with paintings
- Like Men in Black, wipe your memory everyday. Whatever craziness happened yesterday, forget it. Today is a new day, love your children through new eyes
- Remind them how lucky you feel to have them as your child
- Make your child laugh, the great thing is that you’ll feel great too
- Do what they want to do once in awhile
- Don’t ever let your child have to say your name to get get your attention more than 2 times
- Play board games, card games or puzzles
- When you play a game, let them win
- Frame their art work
- Keep their homework
- Dance together
I’d love to hear how you make sure your child feels love every single day?

I’m looking forward to sharing our Happy Family Project with you, and I hope it inspires you to define your family’s happiness too.
This is a really sweet list, thanks for sharing! My son is still just a baby, but I make sure he feels loved by snuggling him, kissing him, and taking care of his daily needs. I also play with him.
Ah, the sweet snuggly baby phase – I miss it!
I tell my kids EVERY DAY! I’m a snuggly mom! Sometimes they say Mom enough all ready!

Hee hee! I am unwilling to let my 5 year old stop kissing me at the school gate
I love this list so much! Michael is in a phase where he builds things so I can get excited over them. 🙂

Its amazing how much they change. Glad you like the list 🙂
Great list! My kids are teens, so they aren’t into hugs and stuff like that, but they love when I do little things for them, like make them lunch
