“I Love You” may be the most important words from a parent to a child!

Right now in Los Angeles we are witnessing the most destructive fires to ever occur in Southern California, with no more than a minutes notice, people are rushing from their homes to beat the flames and unfortunately some of them are not making it.

At a time like this, when there is so much unexpected tragedy, none of us can actually predict how each day will end.

Unintentionally, there are still days when a parent and child has had a difficult and challenging morning before coming to our day care. It may be that the child refused to get dressed, or eat breakfast, or can’t agree about clothing options, or is still tired and generally uncooperative. By the time they arrive at our door the parents’ patience has already been stretched and the start of their day already delayed.

Consequently, they are already late for whatever their work requirements were. Without thinking, they rush their child into our daycare without expressing any loving parting words. At that moment, their priority seems to be to leave their child as quickly as possible and apparently forget to say any parting words.

Make a commitment that regardless of any and all circumstances, you will tell your child that you love them before leaving. That one single statement will help both child and parent to let go of the difficult early morning experience and know that all is well. It immediately changes the energy and allows for a more pleasant day.

Under no circumstances should you leave your child while you are angry, you cannot be silent!
Make that commitment now, it will change your day! Love is a great healer!

We are hoping for a peaceful Holiday Time!
