A video recently came up on my social media feed. The video showed a teacher on the phone with a student’s father, and the teacher was singing the child’s praises. The young girl was brought to tears listening to her teacher tell her father what a wonderful, smart, kindhearted person she is and how much he appreciates her always doing the right thing and always being willing to help others.
We all want to know that we are appreciated. We want to know that our boss recognizes the hard work we put in. We want our spouse to acknowledge when we go above and beyond to help around the house or with the kids. We all want to hear the words, “I’m proud of you from a parent.”
There may be someone in your life who is longing to hear those words from YOU. It only takes a moment to share a little praise, but making them feel valued and seen will last a lifetime.
