"Tell Them You Love Them"

One thing I’ve always done is to tell my kids I love them. I tell them all the time, no matter what they do or what happens, I love them. It may sound corny but I never want them to question if they’re loved. Too many times throughout the years I’ve seen or read about some teenagers who got into trouble say they didn’t feel loved.

There are too many parents out there who seldom or never tell their kids that they love them. Why don’t they? Maybe the father is too macho; he feels any show of affection is a sign of weakness. Perhaps the mothers are afraid to let their emotions show.

Whatever the reason for not saying it, there are many more reasons to say it. You never know when your last chance will be. Accidents happen every day. Why wouldn’t you want to give your kids the strength and security of knowing they have someone they can count on?

This can be applied to everyone you love, your spouse, your parents, brothers, sisters, grandchildren, other family members, or even your friends. Don’t be too proud or feel embarrassed to show it or say it. Tell them you love them!
