Just wondered to see if anything useful in bringing up our own DC (aged 2&6). Mine are quite obvious really but:
I always felt loved
(mind you I spell this out daily to our DC as it feels right &i was never actually told I was loved but know I was)
Remember my mum helping me with my writing and how special that made me feel. And loved she was always there for us. As was DF who was away more
I had my own pets and doted on them
My mum is an amazing cook and brought us up with great habits eg we only ever drank water and never cared (though I eat far too much rubbish anyway sometimes now)
We were brought up to love books eg had loads at home
And taught languages at a young age (by chance of where we lived but I still appreciate it today!)
