Cherishing your child is so important, always keep in mind your child is only small for a short time.         Take the time to smell your baby’s head and watch your child sleep. Be Fun, dance and play with them. No matter what age wash your child’s hair and take time to brush it. Cuddle them during a movie or doing Saturday morning cartoons.      Always be present because one day you’ll wonder if you appreciate the sweet and tender moments found in everyday life with your little one. Some- times you will come to realize at the end of the day that you didn’t cherish your child that day due to running around, working, and all the day’s to-do’s that you were so busy from the moment you woke up, so try and stop. Breathe, may set a time each day on your phone to think did I engage with my child today?         Be present by actively listening as if they’re telling you the most important details in the world. To your little one, they’re the most important words in the world. The stories won’t always be exciting, but the more you engage, the more you learn about your child. You’ll get to enjoy the sweet and silly parts of their personality as they tell you about their day.        Record everyday moments not just the big events. When your children leave your home, it’s the everyday things you’ll miss most.        The years are incredibly short. You have just 18 summers with your children at home. There are only so many hugs and snuggles that you can embrace. Cherish your child while you can! Thank you for reading our Baby Berries Grown-up Blog Cherish

Teaching a child about counting their blessings is more about gratitude and being grateful. Having a grateful mindset and realizing the blessings bestowed on a child has a host of benefits for kids. Kids do better in school, are more likely to achieve their goals, and are more satisfied with school and life. The biggest benefit that comes from being grateful/counting your blessings, is that it shifts the focus away from materialism. “The more grateful kids are the less materialistic they are” because they find themselves valuing internal things rather than external things. Gratitude and teaching counting your blessings runs on external values like community affiliations and personal growth. So, children who are grateful/counting your blessings are more likely to be interested in their personal growth in accomplishments, talents, and goals by developing into the the best version of themselves. Grateful/counting your blessings children have more sense of where they’re going, why they are doing what they are doing, and why they get up in the morning. Meeting their goals and finding their purpose. Two ways to teach children to count their blessings: 1. Gratitude Journal – Work with your child by making simple statements in a journal or make one. Write out “I AM GRATEFUL “on top of the page and then let them complete the sentence and write out or if the child is learning to write help them with simple statements”. “for saying my ABCs”. “for a gift Grandma gave me”. “for being healthy and strong”. 2. Vision Board – Making a vision board can be such a fun craft of cutting out photos for children and words. Help your child focus on their goals, talents, and accomplishments. Some of the items a child wants and where they would like to go like theme parks, museums, and visiting another country. Make it what your child would like to express and dream about. Have your child always keep in mind to feel blessed with what they are receiving.
