The kids love it when I put notes in their lunch. I maybe do it once a week because most days I am so rushed, flustered, grouchy or otherwise occupied in the morning. I have been thinking for a while that I should just sit down and write a whole bunch of notes and then have them ready to go. In a way it seems kind of not as sincere to do it this way, but why not? It's better to get it done. So the last couple of days I've been writing a lot of them. I do three of each note (Calvin, Clare, Lexey).
I have really enjoyed this little exercize. It for sure has made me think better thoughts about them.
I have googled: encouraging words for kids, praise for kids, etc. to find some ideas of what to write.
Here are a few things I've written:
I love you to the moon and back
You are my favorite 13 year old 10 year old and 7 year old respectively
will you be my valentine
I'm proud of you
You are smart
You are a superstar
You make me smile
I love you
You are my sunshine
Be kind and have courage
