How do you communicate love in your home?

Some people are word folks… others show love by acts of service.  Some give hugs… and some have any mixture of expressions!  However you display love to your family, make sure you’re acting on it every day… in the good times and the bad.

When you do, you’re communicating that there’s nothing your teen can do to make you love him more, and nothing he can do to make you love him less.  That’s a foundation that’ll hold relationships together no matter what happens.

So take a moment and write a note of encouragement.  Give a hug.  Say, “I love you.”  There’s no better investment in your relationships than expressing love!
