While Valentine’s Day often focuses on romantic relationships, it’s important for the children in our lives – especially boys – to know and hear that we love them too.

This Valentine’s Day, if you’re a parent, or coach, or teacher, here are some affirmations you can use to connect with the boys in your life.

Take deep breaths and all say:

• I am valued and loved.
• It’s okay to feel and sit with all of my emotions.
• I was born to love and to care.
• I can give myself and others empathy.
• I am capable of accepting and connecting with others.

How was this experience for you?
