It’s Celebrate Children and Grandchildren Day

Sharing is caring!

Every child is a unique and wonderful gift.

The brown-eyed curly haired wiggle worm.
The green-eyed redhead who loves to sing and dance.
The blue-eyed blonde soccer player.
The teen who dreams big dreams.
The toddler who talks and talks and talks.

It’s Celebrate Life Day – A day to honor our children and grandchildren.

The perfect day to be intentional, to notice and celebrate the things that make each child unique and precious.

10 Ways to Celebrate a Child’s Life Today

1. Pull out the baby books and photo albums and tell them how thankful you are for them.
2. Hide little notes and cards in their backpacks, lunch boxes, and around the house to tell them how special they are.
3. Make up a secret love word that is special just for you.
4. Hug and kiss them today and everyday no matter what.
5. Set aside time to give them your full attention.
6. Say “yes” as often as possible today, even to some things to which you might normally say “no.”
7. Point out something unique about them that you love (their smile or dimples, the way they dance or sing, their energy or giggle).
8. Make an acrostic out of their name. (Joyful Joshua. One of a Kind. Silly and Singing. Happy and Bright. Unique and Precious. Always, We Love You.)
9. Have a dance party with their favorite tunes.
10. Find reasons to giggle together.
