Your Question:
how do i make my kids feel loved?
Answer:
As a parent, I've learned that making my kids feel loved is not just about giving them what they want, but about showing them that I care about their well-being and want what's best for them. It's about being present and engaged in their lives, even when it's hard. For example, when my kids were younger, my wife Susan would make them greet us with a hug and eye contact before we could give them attention. It was a small thing, but it taught them the importance of showing love and respect to others. One way I show my kids love is by spending quality time with them. Whether it's playing catch with my son Joshua or helping my daughter Rebecca with her homework, I make sure to give them my undivided attention. I also try to be more intentional about showing physical affection, like giving them hugs and kisses. Sometimes, it's the simple things like looking them in the eye and saying "I love you" that can make a big difference. As a parent, it's also important to model the kind of love that God shows us. I want my kids to know that I love them not just because of what they do, but because of who they are. I try to show them that love is not just a feeling, but a choice that we make every day. By being patient, kind, and understanding, I hope to teach my kids what it means to love others well, and to show them that they are loved and valued, no matter what.
