Every child shows, and feels, love in their own unique way. Some want cuddles. Others light up when you play together or cheer them on.
This month, we’re celebrating Love in Action by asking YOU: 💖 What’s your toddler’s love language? 🫶 Is it hugs, high-fives, helping out, or quality time?
Drop it in the comments below let’s spread the love (and maybe a few parenting tips too)!

Play isn’t just fun, it’s how children learn to love, grow, and connect.
Through play, little ones build creativity, problem-solving skills, and emotional confidence. Every laugh, tower built, and make-believe story helps shape the foundation for lifelong learning.
So next time your child says, “Play with me!”, remember, it’s not just a game. It’s love in action.
