Back when I was a teen,my parents had a bumper sticker that askde:Have you hugged your kid today? After hearing the Florida girl,Somer Thompson's mom speak yesterday,I thought about my kids,I was thankful our last words that and every morning are:"I love you.Have a good day."It's a good habit we got into as soon as my kids startde going to school.It's one my husband and I have also. I like to think this good habit reminds my children that they have a firm unconditional loving foundation to stand on when they may be facing difficult teachers,bullying or any problem at school.
As parents ,this is a so good habit,do you think so??

I agree with you, kids need to be assured that they are loved by their parents unconditionally. I always kiss my boys before they leave for school, when I arrive home from work and when saying good night to them before they sleep. I believe that kids who grew up in a loving family environment are more secure of themselves and are less likely to undergo rebellion and give in to peer pressures during their teenage years. My parents were not as expressive, so I promised myself that I will not make the same mistake with my kids.
