Setting firm boundaries is one of the most important ways to show love to your children. I find many parents, I suppose out of guilt, do the opposite and let them do whatever they like. Without boundaries though, your kids will feel unloved and uncared for. As a result they will do the worst things they can think of with the desperate attempt at finding that boundary.

Thanks Steve for the post! I agree with you about discipline. Children needs them and appreciate it too. The best way I appreciate my children is by spending time with them individually once a month. I try to give myself wholly to one child for an hour or 2 and we will do everything that he or she likes, or simply talk about anything that comes to mind. It’s interesting really and you can get to know your children a lot this way.

“Reward them for the good and punish gently for the bad.”

I totally agree with this first statement.

I like what I’m reading here Steve! I remember growing up, all I wanted was the approval of my parents. I didn’t always get it, but when I did I knew I was loved. You don’t have to shower your kids with gifts or money or try to be their best friend, you just need to be honest and show lots of love coming straight from the heart!

I think the best one would be spending time with them. Nice words wouldn’t do any good if not put into action. Besides, most children are closer with their mothers than their fathers because fathers don’t have the same time to spend with their children as the mothers have.

Nice tips. Reward are always appreciated no matter what the age. I find it very useful, especially as a motivator. However, we should also control reward for they will probably keep on coming back for more.
