The Power of Saying “I Love You”

Never underestimate the power of expressing love, especially as your kids grow into teens. Whether they’re 5 or 15, they need to hear that you love them unconditionally.

Sometimes, teens may push away affection or seem uninterested, but don’t stop saying “I love you” regularly.

These words create a safe, supportive environment for them to express themselves emotionally.

Tip: Make it a habit to tell your child or teen that you love them—whether it’s in the morning, before bed, or just when you feel it. It reinforces emotional security and connection.
