Let\u2019s use Valentine\u2019s Day as a day to express kindness and caring for ourselves and for others.<\/p>\n

Here are some suggestions to share with your child about the ways we can express caring. Show them how to give the gift of a smile.<\/p>\n

A smile is a gift of love that brings cheer to ourselves and to those who receive it.\u00a0 So give a smile: it\u2019s a feeling good about yourself feeling–<\/i>you can see it, you can feel.<\/p>\n

1.Give Yourself A Smile<\/p>\n

Ask your child to smile in the mirror at her\/him self.\u00a0 You\u00a0 do it, too. What happens?<\/p>\n

Your beautiful face seems to brighten up. It gives you a good feeling, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

2. Smile At Someone<\/p>\n

Give the smile away by smiling at someone.\u00a0 Notice the look on that person\u2019s face\u00a0when you give him or her a smile. It makes them smile back at you and makes them\u00a0feel happy too!<\/p>\n

3. Send Someone A Smile<\/p>\n

Draw a happy face and send it to someone you might not see for the holiday or take a photograph of your child saying \u201cYES, I love you!\u201d smiling.<\/p>\n

Remind your child to look for the good in others and look for the good within.<\/p>\n

There is a beautiful teaching from A Course in Miracles which says:<\/p>\n

When you meet anyone, remember it is a Holy Encounter. As you see him you see yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Remind your child to look for the good in others and look for the good within and you will see how a simple smile can light up the world with kindness and goodness..<\/p>\n
