Our family is Christian, and so my personal favorite notes are ones with a verse on them, especially for my son.

For my kids, they really love getting notes, and respond well to praise, thus the “You are Smart” note. We need to be constantly filling up their ‘love tanks’ in ways that they understand. Do not give them any excuse or opportunity to ever say they don’t feel your love. He left fairly early in the morning and maybe he never appreciated the things I did, but I know that he had no excuse not to know that I loved him. When I was married, sometimes I would tape a note to my husband’s steering wheel in his car. Great parenting is constantly showing your kids you love them, you value them, you respect them.Īnd, it may seem silly to some, but I think that putting a motivating or inspirational note in a child’s lunch box (or even a spouse’s) is such a simple way to show them you care. Get them washed for dinner, bathe them, take them to the park, feed them, provide adequate living space for them.īut great parenting is so much more than that. Parenting is doing a lot of routine, mundane things over and over. It’s a little touch that says you care, you’re thinking of them, like a little gift they get so happy to receive. I love the idea of putting encouraging lunch box notes for kids to find in their lunch boxes or backpacks.Įspecially for kindergarteners going to school for the first time and dealing with separation anxiety from their parents.
