How do you let your child know you love them? As parents, it’s easy to just assume that our kids know we love them. After all, we tell them we love them and take care of them right?
But how do you know if your child actually feels loved?
One of the biggest ways any child feels loved is by having effective communication with them. As adults, we ask that they look at us when we are talking and that they listen. We must do the same with them. Make eye contact and “listen with your heart”. Kids know when you are distracted and not paying attention. That makes anyone feel like they are not important.
It may be true that most of us desire to make our child feel loved and valued, but why is it important for a child to feel loved?
Studies have shown that children who do not feel loved and valued are more stressed, feel less secure (regardless of accomplishments), lack confidence, and can struggle with mental health and healthy relationships.
We know that kids are special and a gift from God. Let’s be intentional to make our children feel loved and valued the way they should!

I like to keep one child at a time up an extra half hour at night for special Mommy time, where we snuggle up on the couch and usually read a couple of chapters in a book they are interested in or we work on something school related that needs quiet to appreciate it or a fun game with just the two of us. My boys love it.
Leslie, I agree! Knowing their “love language” is important! What says I love you to one of your kids may not to a different child. I loved the challenge of figuring out my kids, and what made them tick. 🙂
Genuine and specific praise is so important and so is understanding our children and knowing which of these things best express love to each one of them. My daughter definitely loves baking with me!
