In this material world it may be easy to overlook the gifts that kids give us. A gift from a child, perhaps made at kindergarten or preschool or in their own time at home can hold a great deal of meaning for your child.

Perhaps it may be as simple as a painted rock, or a decorated letter.

In giving such gifts a child is offering all they have, their ingenuity, time and consideration and quite naturally their love.

Put these gifts in a special place of honor where your child will see them, perhaps at your desk or on the hall table. This way you are communicating, validating and reflecting that special relationship that can only be had between parent and child.
