We always hear about how children need love and attention. But do we really show love to our children? How many times a day do we hug them? How many times a day do we kiss them and tell them we love them? If we're lucky, once or twice. They need 4 hugs a day just for survival, 8 for maintenance, and 12 for growth. Smile at your children, spend time playing with them, hug and kiss them, and watch how they respond! It is truly amazing.
