4 Things to Say to Your Child Often
I’m so glad I get to be your mom/dad/parent
I like you just for being you
I love you no matter what
I love spending time with you
Children need to know, without a doubt, that your love for them will never wane, that you truly delight in who they are, and that you believe they are innately good.
