not Love them .. but like them .. like their personality, their humour, their kindness .. like the person they are
because it means something different to Love and kids know that ... because you HAVE to love them .. you're their parent .. but Liking them is optional .. you can love without liking, you can like without loving
It is NOT just semantics
It makes a difference
Try it .. seriously .. take them to one side when its nice and quiet and tell them you like them and why you like them
not too often but once in a while
go on
