Surprise them with affirmations

Words have immense power. Start their day with words of encouragement, love, positivity and compliments. We bet they are going to smile so big and set a tone of love and laughter for the entire day.

Post sticky notes on their wall, or leave notes in their school bag, or lunch box. Compliments like: ‘Take note, You are loved a lot’, ‘I Love you to the moon and back’, ‘You are my sunshine’, ‘I believe in you’, ‘We are so proud of you’, ‘Keep smiling and shining’. With cute graphics or doodles of hearts, smileys or even add their favourite stickers to make things colourful.

Decorate a room with flowers
