3 Ways to Encourage Love With Your Family
Love isn't just a feeling; it's a choice we make every day to show kindness, compassion, and understanding towards one another. Diving deeper into this value with our families provides immense benefits!
Here are 3 fun ways to practice expressing even MORE love with your family:
π³ Love Tree: Create a "love tree", where family members write down things they love or are grateful for on colorful paper leaves. Hang the leaves on the tree branches and add to it as time goes on, watching as the love tree grows and having it serve as a visual reminder of the abundance of love within the family.
β Love Language Quiz: We often hear about the study of love languages in adult relationships. BUT, these can be just as important for families! Take a love language quiz as a family to discover each member's preferred love language. Use this knowledge to express love and appreciation in ways that resonate with each individual, deepening familial bonds and understanding.
π¨βπ³ Add love to family recipes: For those with smaller children, adding a "sprinkle of love" to your recipes is something that they will remember forever. Take an empty spice bottle, and decorate it with a symbol for love. While cooking, show your children that you are "adding love" to the recipe. If you have a special cookbook, you can even add this "ingredient" to your favorite recipes.
