Recommendation 4

Show love

Try To Spend Time With Your Child Every Day

Read

Have discussions

Tell them stories

Play with them

Include humor

Include exercise

Love does not mean that you always “come to the rescue”

Showing love includes building resiliency, or inner strength

Allow children to overcome challenges on their own

Talk about the struggles you overcame

Use your own life to role model how to be resilient

To address some challenges, help will be needed

“When the challenge seems too big to solve, be sure to ask for help”

“When bad things happen, there are people who you can go to for help”

Give children the strong message that they are loved, each and every day
