I have given birth to three beautiful little women who bless me, teach me, and inspire me to be better each day.
It is my prayer that you feel my heart as you read my words, and that you feel inspired touse these phrases with your own daughters, and your sons, too.
When I was a young girl and wondering whether anyone loved me and just kind of making a decision based on what I thought love was.
How To Show Your Child Your Love
Sure, the words must be coupled with loving actions, but I feel it’s a mistake to underestimate what three little words can do.
We must teach our daughters that they are wonderful just as they are and that failure, hardship, and cluelessness are real parts of life.
I was saying this to my then one-year-old when a then 78-year-old lady confessed to me she never said this to her kids growing up.

Lines growing up, and I don’t really roll that way. Trust is earned, and if I am not my child’s friend, how do I expect her to trust me?
It’s also equally important to listen attentively to our kids when they are dreaming aloud and using their imagination, or when they just want to share an experience that is meaningful to them.

None of the other lyrics may apply, but these two powerful sentences, straight outta the 80’s, make all the difference in healing our kids.
We connect with girls and women like us. It’s so powerful when our daughters know we can relate to them, when they can see past the perfect mythical mother creature society portrays, to see a girl, just like them, who struggles, who cries, who has fears, insecurities, and quirks about her.

Most of the time, I felt like I was a bother and they could have been better off if I weren’t born.

I feel really blessed and I want them to know it at each and every opportunity I get, because it’s necessary to balance it out. They are a beautiful gift and I want them to feel like they are.

I think NO can bean empowering word when we use it to set boundaries, and, of course, when you’re teaching your littles to stay away from the stove, the power outlets, or their own poop LOL.
We want to protect our children and we want them to experience happiness… so we limit them in fear that they will experience huge disappointment.
It took courage to say YES, because I didn’t even see how any of it was possible or useful, but I’m so glad I’ve trusted their vision and ignored my overprotective nature to allow her to follow her dreams.

[…] They had to guess. I like to play these “guessing” games to get them thinking! They ask questions in the form of categories. Elisha guessed on the third try and we all screamed and jumped together! I always say I would have liked to have a son, but these moments are so much more special when you have daughters. […]
Ways To Show Your Daughter You Love Them
I'm quick to say I love you. But I need to work on tell me more. We're always running as moms, we never really stop to ask them to keep talking. It's usually the opposite.

You will both benefit from having this time […]When you first cuddle your newborn baby, you know the powerful feeling of a parent’s love. That curious toddler who climbs into your lap for a story and spontaneously hugs your neck so tightly or a school-aged child who sits close to you in church and still wants to hold your hand walking through the store make it easy to continue showing love through your words and actions.
Raising Confident Girls
But it sometimes takes a little more effort to show love to that child who’s now as tall as you are, who acts so independent, and stays up later at night than you do!
Yet through these teen years, I think our kids desperately need to know that our love is still there. When so much about themselves and their world is changing, mom’s and dad’s love can be a constant, positive force in their lives.
Since I have girls, it was easy for me to come up with this list of ways I try to show love to my teen daughters. I’m thinking that with slight variations, these would work for boys, too!

Listen. Make eye contact. Ask follow-up questions that are thoughtful, but not probing. Unless she asks for a solution to a problem, just empathize with her view of the situation and allow her to pour out her feelings.
2. Pray aloud for her. My dad still does this for me sometimes, just when we’re on the phone together. There is something powerful about hearing your name brought to God in prayer. I used to make our bedtime prayer ritual about general topics – health of family and friends, safety and blessing for our missionaries, etc. – but lately I’ve purposely made that prayer time about my daughters and what each of them are facing in the next several days.
3. Communicate her way. How does she like to communicate? Does she like to sit and talk over coffee drinks or does texting back and forth work for her? Maybe she really appreciates you writing her notes or trading a journal back and forth. I actually try to do some of each of these with my girls, but I would say one speaks a texting love language and the other one appreciates handwritten notes.

4. Celebrate her. Yes, this includes her accomplishments in school, sports, fine arts, or other activities. But sometimes just find a silly holiday so you have an excuse to celebrate! For example, Friday, October 7 is Frappe Day; Tuesday, October 18th is Chocolate Cupcake Day; and Friday, October 28th is Plush Animal Lover’s Day. There really is a day for everything!
5. Do something to make her life easier. Do a chore for your daughter. Make her bed, pack her lunch, clean up her room while she’s out of the house, or pick up a book or movie at the library for her to enjoy over the weekend. Think of what she would be relieved to have taken off her plate and do that for her.
6. Give her space. This one is hard for me. I want to charge in and know all about everything that’s going on in her life. Yet I’ve come to understand that sometimes she needs time to digest things herself before she talks about them. There are certainly times a parent needs to step in, but, if possible, allow her some time to process her own thoughts before you initiate the conversation.

7. Extend grace. Some days I just need to sit back and remember what it was like to be a teenager myself. Would I want to go back there? No thank
