Acts of Service – Love is a verb . Love shows action . This isn ’ t about waiting on your child hand and foot , but the little acts of service you do communicate “ You mean so much to me . I want to help you . I want to make your day .” This motivates children to do acts of service for others and models that love is doing . Here are 10 acts of service that say “ I love you .”
• Do their laundry for them .
• Perform daily duties with love . Toddlers still require a lot of assistance – diaper changes , baths , face wipes , teeth brushing , etc . Perform these lovingly and gently .
• Set up play invitations / activities .
• Help them with homework .
• Repair or mend a toy or other belonging .
• Make them a special meal or treat .
