Valentines to Kids – What to Write?
Spend a few moments contemplating each child’s strengths God has given them and the blessing they are to you and others around them. What makes your kid tick? When do their eyes light up? What makes them bounce up and down in delight?
Maybe consider your child’s recent victories like becoming a new reader or doing well in math and add words like “Reader” or “Multiplication Master”. Little achievements are a big deal!
Praise them for the small things they do every day that often go unnoticed – their sharing spirit, patience, obedience, or gentleness. Sometimes those things go quietly by without much fanfare. Now is the time to show your appreciation with this Valentines to kids!
