A note in his lunchbox

When I pack the lunchbox for my son every morning, I’m always thinking about how he’ll react when he opens it. I want his eyes to light up even though it might be a repeat from the previous day, though guaranteed a healthy snack. 
My mind wanders on to think that I won’t see him for more than 12 hours some days, and during those hours I often think about him. 

Last year when he started school, I thought of doing something special like leaving a post-it in his lunchbox, as he was learning to read. 
When I asked him about seeing the note, he said he got excited that I had done that. I told him that the note was to remind him that I’ll be thinking of him while he’s at school and I’m at work.

Making a small gesture makes such a great impact on a child, and I love how he reminds me to put a note in his box. It’s also encouraging for him to identify and read the words. 

Letting your children know you love them, and teaching them to say ‘I love you’ has a positive influence in their life. 
There is so much good in this world, and good in others, it’s means having a good and  kind heart to see it!!
Help your children make a positive impact in those around them. 
Give them positive encouragement daily. They maybe little but they make a huge difference...always listen and let them be heard.
