Like any good relationship, the relationship with your child can benefit from thoughtful gestures that help your child feel special and deeply loved.

It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day responsibilities of parenting that we sometimes forget to add touches of love that can deepen the bond with our children.

I'm going to suggest 28 small, loving gestures that will add sparkle to your child's day without much effort on your part as you juggle the many demands of parenthood.  Perhaps you want to try just one? Or perhaps you can try one each day this month?  Know that your child will deeply appreciate the extra love you're sending his/her way.
