I think it's very important, too. I told our son nearly every day of his life, too, and I still do every time I talk to him, which is a couple of times a week. We showed him we loved him, too, in every way possible. Some of those he didnt like, like being told no or having limits set for him. But I think in time he'll understand that those actions were about love, too.

I'm lucky. I grew up with demonstrative, verbally and physicaly affectionate parents. So I'd had that modeled for me. When his time comes, I think our son will be a loving parent, too. I already intend on being an absolutely sickeningly loving, over-indulgent grandparent.

I,m a dad of 3boys,and i make it my business to tell my boys i love them every day,,just grab a few moments and stop the clock,and sit with them,each,mostly at bed time,but it means a lot to me to do this.. AS a child born in the 60s,and from ireland,our parents never told us,Now i dont think that had a bad effect on me,but i think its just a positive thing to be open and honnest with your kids.. Sometimes you may not feel like you love them,or even like them,but i just think its Rating: 5
