Write Your Child Notes

Write notes for your children and slip them under their door or put them in their lunch box.

I try and think of ways I can be encouraging them throughout the week.

Drew recently wrote a not for each of the kids and slipped it under their door for them to find in the morning. They ran into our room the next day exclaiming, “Dad, I got your note!” They were so excited.

They don’t easily forget those things.

Kids don’t usually question their mother’s love, but sometimes they do wonder if Dad loves them. So Dads, this is something to think about for you to do. Notes communicate our love in a lasting way.

Take Your Children On Dates

Take your children on “dates”.

I, Megan, get to spend more time with the kids so Drew often does “dates with dad.” He takes turns taking each of our kids out for some special time with just him. They love it! They look forward to it.

To this day, Drew talks about the one date his dad had with him when he was eight. He can tell you details of that experience. Dates with your children will live with them for the rest of their lives. They'll remember and they'll feel special.

Go on a date with your child.
