A reminder to stop and take a moment.
Little moments make a BIG difference to your child....
Tip of Day: Hug your child and say "I love you"!
Tips to connect with for your child:
Baby: Go to the park: Notice what delights your child at the park and give your child more of those experiences, whether it swinging on a baby swing, tossing piles of leaves or sitting in the sand box. Put words to these experiences or make up a song: "What did you do in the park today, dear little girl of mine? I saw another baby in the park today, mama dear mama of mine..."

Toddler: Turn shopping time into story time! Talk as you walk. Make up stories as you go. Talk about the past, present, and future. Grab ideas from the pictures on the packages you pull from the shelves. (Born Learning www.bornlearning.org)
Preschool: After reading a story to your child, ask "What did you like best about the story?" If they don't answer, try saying "did you like the part when...?" or share favorite part of the story.
School Age: Put a little note in with your child's lunch wishing them to have a nice day and just letting them know you love them.
