Small expressions go a long way
September 12th, 2007
Today’s task for this Day 12 of our 30 Days to Better Parenting Challenge will only take a few minutes to complete.
Simply write a short note to each member of the family today. The content doesn’t have to be a long. Just an encouraging word, something funny, a word of acknowledgment is all you need to write. Now put that in their lunch box, or on the pillow where they will find it sometime during the day. Wouldn’t it be a nice surprise for your children and spouse to know that you are thinking of them?
One evening I was out late for a meeting. My children were already in bed by the time I came home. My daughter left me a note on my pillow telling me she missed me. Oh, that just made my day!
In our age of e-everything, getting a physical piece of writing that you can hold in your hand with the sender’s unique handwriting style is a novelty. That personal touch of a handwritten note once in a while brings a smile that goes a long way in strengthening relationships.
