How Often do say "I LOVE YOU" to your kids?

I say I love you everytime I talk to my son. He lives about 2500 miles away from me and we usually talk once a week. My daughter is living back at home again so I see her more often but I usually try to tell her at least once a week also. I want to make sure my kids know that I love them even though they are adults they are never to old to tell them that you love them.

I do like to tell my children that I love them. I don't do it at a regular time of the day though. I find that if people say it to me when I go to bed every night for example I find it doesn't mean as much as when they say it when something nice happens between us.

i try to say i love you to my daughter as often as possible because it helps our bonding relationship to become stronger. i am a working mom and i only have time for my daughter when i got home from work, usually, in the afternoon. even without saying i love you, i manage to hug and cuddle my daughter to express my love to her. at night, before going to sleep, i always tell her that i love her.

If i have a kids...I Wanted to tell them everyday that i love them so much.

I have a small brother aged 9. I am 25 and my other brother is 24. My mom had our youngest when i was 17. So now our youngest is the pet of the family. In a day, i can see and here my mom hug and say I love you to my brother and she says it a lot of times.

I tell them I love them all the time, probably about 15 times a day. i tell them in the morning, after hugs (we hug alot!) I tell them before bed, if i'm leaving to go somewhere, when I get back, etc. I don't believe that the words "I love you" can get worn out to a child. And they know that I mean it with all my heart. They tell me they love me throughout the day also. Everytime they say it, I still smile. :)

I tell my kids every day. In the morning right before they go off to catch the bus for school I make shure I tell them I love them. When I take my 3yr old to pre-school I sign her in she hangs up her coat and I refuse to leave her classroom untill I get a hug and a kiss from her and I tell herthat I love her and I will pick her up later. At bed time when my husband and I are tuckingthe girls in to bed we both spend a few minutes with each child and tell them we are proud ofthem and tell them we love them. Then we will spend some quality time together.

I tell both of my kids that I love them all day long, everyday! I never miss a day without saying "I Love You" and I always hug them throughout the day. I grew up with my parents telling me they love me everyday and always right before bed, so it was passed down to me and I'm hoping my kids will spread the love to their kids. Everyone should take a few seconds to tell their child "I Love You!"

I tell mine that all the time. Sometimes I leave a little note for them to find somewhere in their room or backpack also. I always hope it gives them a little pick me up for the day at school when they find it. Sometimes on the weekend when I'm working and they are home, I call to just tell them I miss them and love them.

i always say i love you to my baby everyday

I am very big on making sure my children know that they are loved! I tell them when they get up in the morning, before they leave for school, when I look at them and realize how much and how fast they are growing up. I tell tehm before we part, for either them to go play with friends or for me to go to my night job or the store. I randomly will grab one (I have four) at several times through out a day, and give them a big hug and tell them how much I Love them. I tell them how much I love them before I go to bed. I know it may sound like over kill, but I grew up in a home where I never heard those word, except for a few slight occasions. I vowed my children would always know how special they were to me, and how much I loved them each and everyday. Because of this practice I have very strong and close bonds with my children, and I am secure enough with that special love, that I can allow them to grow in to the people that they will become in life, supporting them through the good times and the bad times.

Saying "i love you" is just so hard for some people. I am not sure if this is ego-driven or just so ashmed to utter the words of love even to their kids. For me I say it everyday to my kid. It's my thinking that the often I say it to him, he'll learn to respond back to me when he grows up without shame and hesitations.

I tell my kids at least 3 times day that I love them and they are the best thing in the world to me. I always tell them that nobody can tell them anything negative about their self because they are a beautiful person no matter what anyone thinks. They may be small but by the time they reach school they will have all good feelings about themselves. My kids know they are loved everyday by our actions and words.

I tell my baby boy that I love him everyday but i still think it's still not enoughn for him. I call him my little man and that that i love him with all of my heart. I also give the biggest hug i can give to him.

I tell them that I love them every day, usually a few times a day actually. I think it's really important to reinforce your love for them on a regular basis.

There is a commercial on tv/radio in my corner of the world (Canada) and it shows a parent kissing their child at night tucking the child in and the child is just that, a young child, the next morning the child has become a teen (say 16 or 17) and the emphasis on the commericial is to save for college...but, the commerical is true because while slightly exagerated, kids DO grow up fast. Their home is their only place that they feel safe and loved...parents, the basis of most kid's self esteem...by saying i love you, this makes them feel special and appreciated and loved.

I'm really lucky,I have a couple of good parents who given me free & happy childhood. I work hard, and hope I can give them a health & carefree time in their old age also. Though Work & studay is busy,but I try my best to save time and stay with my kindly parents,my grandmother and my little brother together. "Come On",I always said to myself.

I tell my daughter that "I love her" everyday, in person and on the phone no matter who's around her. Being a teen you would think it emberasses her but it doesn't. If I go to her school to drop somethig off she kisses me and tells me she loves me in front of the whole school.

I am a student .But my parents seldem say i love you.

I have 2 teenagers (19 & 15 next month)..I tell my 15 yr old I love her everynight before she goes to bed..My 19 yr old is in collage but always tell him when he calls (usually for money) or comes home..When they were younger I use to tell them and hug them when dropping them off at school but now they just think they are too old to be hugged..Kids can never hear "I love you " too much..well no one can..everyone wants to know they are loved no matter how old.
