I once asked my three year old how he knows that I love him. His answer was simple. ” ‘Cause you tell me all the time.” We need to let the children know that they are loved with our words. You can say “I love you” in many ways. I’m glad you’re here! I’m so happy to see you! I really love the time we get to have together! I’m so lucky to be with you today! Greet and acknowledge each child as they enter your care. Whether that means teachers saying hello as they arrive at school, or parents hugging and cheerfully greeting them as they wake up in the morning, noticing them the first thing each day sends a message to them that they are noticed, wanted, and important to you.
