30 Little Things That Mean a Lot to Children

30 Little Things That Mean a Lot to Children
PinShareTweet

Although these gestures may seem unimportant to adults, little ones will certainly appreciate them. Here are a few simple tips to put a smile on your child’s face.

  • Wear that macaroni necklace to work. Well, at least until you’re safely out the door.
  • Stick a family mantra or slogan (Invincible! We can handle anything!) on the fridge door and call it out with your child if he feels discouraged.
  • Go for a walk with just one of your children.
  • Put a note (and the occasional piece of chocolate) in their bread bin.
  • Build a Minecraft world together.
  • Say ‘yes’ to something that is not normally allowed, like sitting on the kitchen counter.

  • Be as enthusiastic in amusement parks as they are.
  • If you argue in front of your child, make sure they are there when you make up for it.
  • If their room looks like a whirlwind has roared through it, close the bedroom door and get on with your day.
  • Skype or FaceTime occasionally with Grandma.
  • If your child has really tried his best, but still feels miserable and anxious, and really, really wants to stop playing football, hockey or any other hobby, give him permission,
  • Have your four-year-old stomp into every puddle. Even without rain boots.

  • Take out the glitter glue and make a birthday card for your child.
  • Adopt a pet that needs a home – and your child’s love.
  • Give your toddler a chance to solve his or her own problems in the sandbox or on the playground before you intervene.
  • Postpone the how-was-at-your-school questions if your child comes home grumpy and tired. You can always try again during dinner.
  • Develop your own rituals and traditions: tacos every Tuesday, cycling on Sunday afternoons, picking apples in autumn.

  • For a change, ask your child how to do something. Once you’ve mastered it, tell him he’s a good teacher.
  • Have your child wear clothes to the supermarket. All month if he wants.
  • Make sure your child ‘happens to’ listen in when you say something sweet about him.
  • Stay up late to watch the full moon together.
  • Print children’s photos so that they will have a physical memento of their childhood later.

  • Don’t ask your child to let go too quickly. Everyone needs an outlet once in a while.
  • Bake heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast.
  • Turn on the music halfway through a homework session and have a dance party.
  • Think up a secret family handprint together.
  • Hang a chalkboard in their room to leave messages for each other.
  • Start a pillow fight.
  • Share your old diaries, photos and letters from your own childhood with your child.
  • Thank your child when he does a job on his own, even if it’s small, such as hanging up a wet towel or refilling a water jug uninvited.

If you implement these 30 things, your child surely will remember you as a good and fun parent.
