The " Why " of Love.

 

Here is a message that needs to be drilled into the hearts and minds

of every mom and dad: You do not love your kids because of what they

do, but because of who they are.

 

Simply rewarding children with affection because of their

accomplishments is like a circus trainer giving a dog some food every

time he jumps through a hoop. The dog is not loved for himself, but

for his actions.

 

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the popular talk show host, has a new book for

children titled, " Why Do You Love Me? " Part of the story includes a

mother explaining to her son that it is not what he does that makes

her love him -- she loves him because he is unique and because he is

her son.

 

You do not show affection simply because a child is good at karate or

gymnastics. Every mom, dad and grandparent needs to memorize the words

of a long-time popular song: " I love you most of all because you're you. "
