One of the most important things parents can do for their children is to show them they are loved, accepted and appreciated. In her book, Cooking Around the Calendar With Kids — Holiday and Seasonal Food and Fun, Amy Houts offers many ideas for helping parents and children find joy in working together. Spending focused time with children shows them they are special and loved. Here are some easy suggestions you can do to express love and appreciation for your child in a fun way on this Valentine’s Day. · Hide candy hearts or chocolate kisses in your child’s cereal. · Make pancakes in the form of a heart. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream. · Set out paper place mats and help your child decorate them with a Valentine’s Day theme. · Send a note in your child’s lunch box or backpack thanking them for something they did or simply telling them “I love you”. · Plan a treasure hunt by leaving little notes around the house expressing your appreciation for something they did. End with a riddle or clue to the next hiding place where they will find a candy or special memento. Have something special at the last hiding place such as a toy or treat. · Give lots of hugs and kisses. Don’t let your child grow up without them. There is no greater reassurance of their lovability and worth than to be affectionately touched and held. Affirming statements such as “I love you just the way you are; I’m so glad you’re my son (or daughter)” need to be given often, not only on Valentine’s Day. There are lots more suggestions for this and other special days in Cooking Around the Calendar With Kids — Holiday and Seasonal Food and Fun. This is a fun book you can read and use with your child all year long. Author Amy Houts is a former children's librarian and preschool teacher.

Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.” ~ Louise L. Hay I enjoy the month of February with its emphasis on love and hearts. It’s nice to have a month that encourages us to be more heart-centered versus brain-centered. What if you started to listen for what your heart whispers to you? How might your life be different if you followed your heart? The answers may not make sense to the rest of the world and the path may not look like one that anyone else would want to follow. The point is that when you are living an authentic life, you are making your own path. The path begins when you take steps to move forward in your life. Your heart is always calling you, in your dreams, or, it may be what is keeping you up at night. You will also feel its urging in your waking hours. Dare to follow it, dare to believe in yourself for that is where your power lives. It is when we choose to ignore the heart’s gentle calling that it begins to get louder. Sometimes there is so much static in our lives it keeps us disconnected from our hearts and then it takes a huge crisis or event to get us to pay attention, change our ways, or move in another direction. Remember our hearts need “soul food” to keep our spirits healthy and strong. What is your particular brand of “soul food?” Is it music, colors, art, poetry, connections with family and friends, adventure, bird songs, flowers, dancing? Discover the “soul food” that feeds your spirit. Pay attention to those things that send goosebumps up and down your skin or make the hair on the back of your neck electrify with excitement. Have a reserve of “soul food” so that you never suffer from a hungry heart. Don’t forget to check in with your heart on a daily basis. Ask for it’s guidance and assistance then quietly listen for your heart whispers.
