Then take a day trip to the zoo. Post a compliment. Ever morning, scribble a quick compliment for your child on a Post-It note. Then, stick the sentiment to your child's pillow, post on the front door, or hide it in a lunch box for a midday surprise. Make a photo album.
Photo albums are a terrific way to highlight the loving times that families share.
And you probably have a few boxes of unsorted photos hanging around. In one afternoon, you and your child can have fun, recall special times, and organize the photographs into a family album. Perhaps your child can write humorous comments beneath the photographs, or decorate the pages with creative, construction paper designs. And while you are it, create a mini-album for your child to keep in her room. Crack open the books.
