Simple ways to make your child feel special
Last updated: June 2014
With busy lives full of errands, work, appointments, and social events, it can sometimes feel like you need to make grand gestures to let kids know they're loved and special.But what makes your child feel special might surprise you. You don't need to spend a lot of money on a birthday party or a deluxe trip to Disneyland. You don't need to buy a Barbie Mustang or a tree house or dish out ice cream every night.Making your child feel special is very simple, according to Leigh Leverrier, a family life coach in the Washington, D.C., area, who says, "Children feel special when they are respected, noticed, listened to, and heard."This can be as straightforward as hearing "what your child says and mirroring back what you hear to acknowledge his or her thoughts," Leverrier adds., a licensed psychologist in Philadelphia, says: "It's not the activities, but the energy behind the activities that makes a child feel loved." In other words, making your child feel special is as simple as paying attention. Cuddling, play wrestling, and bragging about your kid works, too.Here are some simple, inexpensive (or free!), and ultimately very meaningful ways to make your child feel special.Create morning moments"The morning sets the tone," says , author of Parenting With Love, Without Anger or Stress. "If there's strife, rushing, or power struggles in the morning, you have a child who feels less important than other elements of the parent's agenda."Instead of giving in to morning impatience, Vanessa Pizzinato of Ontario, Canada, takes a few minutes with her 5-year-old every morning to gently walk her fingers over his legs and feet to wake him up. If that doesn't work, then she takes his feet, puts one up to her ear and the other in front of her mouth, and talks to his tummy and head "to find out when they think he will wake up."Cara Mirabella, who runs , spends a little quality time each morning with her 2-year-old by having coffee together. (His "coffee" is milk.) "We watch Sesame Street, the two of us cuddling on the couch, enjoying our coffee," she says.After taking five minutes for yourself "to enjoy the quiet of the morning before the stampede begins," says Patty Wipfler, founder of , spend ten minutes with your child before anybody has to rush anywhere."First thing in the morning can be a wonderfully effective time to connect with children, especially when they're going to school and won't get to see you all day," she says.

And such lovely weather, I'm so glad of that," added Beth, tidily sorting neck and hair ribbons in her best box, lent for the great occasion. On another occasion the teacher talked to the chil- dren of Benvenuto Cellini. It was not like Tom Swift to miss, nor did he on this occasion. On this occasion she asked me very craftily when grandfather expected to begin planting corn. She had been properly dressed for the occasion in black tulle and black silk tights. Washington, who, after uselessly admonishing the European general of the danger into which he was heedlessly running, saved the remnants of the British army, on this occasion, by his decision and courage. On another occasion, one Whiskey Dick, impelled by a sense of duty, paid a visit to the new house and its fair occupants, in a fashion frankly recounted by him afterwards at the bar of the Tecumseh Saloon. quoth Uncle Venner, who had taken occasion to shuffle in and out of the shop several times in the course of the day. And now -- because, beyond my deserts, I was happy enough to find a listener or two on the former occasion -- I again seize the public by the button, and talk of my three years' experience in a Custom-House.
