By Dr. Roxanne Daleo<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During this holiday season, let\u2019s focus on simple ways to give of ourselves rather than worry about buying something to give. Try crafting homemade ornaments, baking cookies and best of all helping your child recognize this truth: <\/span><\/span>you are the gift.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

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

Ask your child to smile in the mirror at her\/him self. You do it, too. What happens?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Your beautiful face seems to brighten up. It gives you a good feeling, doesn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Give the smile away by smiling at someone. Notice the look on that person\u2019<\/span><\/span>s face<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> when you give him or her a smile. It makes them smile back at you and makes them<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> feel happy too! The impact factor of a smile is not bound by language or culture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Smile At Nature<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next time to see a beautiful flower or a mighty oak tree hug it and send a smile.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Cultivate a shift in awareness by acknowledging our connection with all living things<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4.. Send Someone A Smile<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Draw a happy face and send it to someone you might not see for the holiday or take <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>a photograph of your child saying \u201cYES!\u201d smiling, write a note and send! Try it using<\/span> your mind\u2019s eye. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

How did you use your smile as a gift today? Send me a comment at<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
