I saw this a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. It was a GREAT reminder to me of the SIMPLE things kids really want their parents to do with them. This is from a Elementary School Teacher. For 16 years she asked her students what they really want their parents to do with them and these were the top 10 answers each year:
- Come into my bedroom at night, tuck me in and sing me a song. Also tell me stories about when you were little.
- Give me hugs & kisses, and sit and talk with me privately.
- Spend quality time just with me, not with my brothers and sisters around.
- Give me nutritious food so I can grow up healthy.
- At dinner talk about what we could do together on the weekend.
- At night talk to me about anything; love, school, family, etc.
- Let me play outside, a lot.
- Cuddle under a blanket and watch our favorite TV show together.
- Disciple me. It makes me feel like you care.
- Leave special messages in my desk or lunch bag.
How simple are these things? I really need to work on these - so happy for little reminders like these!
