You don't need a special holiday to show your family love.

- Smile at your kids when they walk into the room. Showing love to your family means letting them know you're happy to see them.
- Catch your child (and partner) doing something good and praise them in public for it. Nothing makes a person's day by being recognized and praised!
- Share as many family meals together as possible throughout the week. Maybe it can’t always be dinner, but kicking off the day together by enjoying breakfast as a family is equally as important.
- Don’t compare your child to others. Every child is an individual and needs to know that you support them for who they are, not for who they are not.
- Tell your family members you love them every day. You may think it's understood that you love your family, but there's nothing like having that validation.
- Give your kids and family members a hug every day. Aside from just feeling good, research shows hugs can actually provide stress relief and keep us from getting sick!
- Be as involved as your schedule permits. Show your kids you care by getting involved with the things that affect their life and education like going to PTO meetings, attending parent-teacher...
