There are many ways you can show your child how much they mean to you - one way is to tell them that they are valuable, that they are needed and they are important, not only as a member of your family but also as a person who is special just as they are.
When you affirm your child with meaningful, positive words you nurture in them a sense of self-worth and self-love.
Your positive words also say to your child that they are important and worthy of so much love. That loving themselves is just as important.
When your child is able to love themselves just as they are, then they are free to become who they truly are.
Before your child can develop self-love, they need to be loved unconditionally. They also need to see you loving yourself just as you are. This is a beautiful way to cultivate a deep feeling of love in your child from the very beginning of their life.
You are your childās first teacher. Your child learns first from what you do and who you are as a person. This means that you first have to love and affirm yourself because you canāt simply encourage self-love, you also have to be an example of self-love; you have to live it.
As parents, we have to talk ourselves up, not down. We have to affirm ourselves.
This is hard because for most of us this is the opposite of how we were raised. Nevertheless keep trying each and every day to love yourself even a little bit more than the day before.
Try to work on those parts of you that are difficult to change because you can grow and expand and while youāre growing remember to shower yourself with positive loving words.
When you are positive and loving you become the model of positivity and love. It begins with you!
