In this world children are suffering in part from lack of praise and appreciation and positive attention. Think about it--we thank our friends, our clients and strangers, but do we remember to thank/appreciate our children?Recently I sent a SendOutCards' card to a young man on his 7th birthday--he and his father did a fishing charter and he caught a fish. This picture was taken, and sent to me. I put it, and a couple of others, on a card to memorialize the day, and sent it to him--his grandmother said that he carried it around with him for weeks, but the other gifts were pushed aside or broken within a few days.
Jackson still has that card. I think he keeps it because he felt special and will remember my kindness to him for a long time.
Let's all make an effort to sincerely praise or appreciate or thank a child this week--our future and their futures depend on them being who they are--SPECIAL to US. I believe keeping our children healthy includes many things, quality nutrition, good sleep habits, a strong education and most importantly, helping them feel positive about themselves.
Send a card to someone you love TODAY!
Blessings,
Linda
