What is the most powerful gift you can give your child? - Leave a Comment

It's not some high-tech gadget you can pick up at a store… it's a sense of belonging. So how can you instill that in your kids? At home, let your kids know they're important to you, and to your family. Affirm their positive character traits, encourage their unique gifts, and let them know their thoughts and opinions matter. Then, when you're out in public, praise them to others – and proudly claim them: "This is my daughter, Rachel… she's an amazing young lady"… "This is my son, Bryan… I'm so proud of him." Give your kids a sense of belonging and they'll never have to look for it elsewhere. Read this moving story about how one man publicly "claimed"  his daughter and the lasting impact it had on her life.  Also, join me on my More than a Minute blog for some tips on publically affirming your children.

Remember your family first,
