It's no good just telling our loved ones that we love them. They need to experience love from us over and over and over. Love is an act of care. Our interactions are opportunities to demonstrate our love on a daily basis.

Children are capable of so much when we give them the tools and space to explore. A little reminder for the day: let them try, let them fail, let them grow. What’s a small independence win your child had recently?
