Happy Valentine's Day

Parents, Valentine's Day is your opportunity to spoil your teenagers! Make them a nice breakfast, or a cup of tea before school, take them out for gelato, see a family-friendly movie, share a special dinner, give them a love gift, or tell them they are wonderful!

Teenagers, today is an opportunity to remind your parents that you do love them, when they are not embarrassing you, hassling you, nagging you, pressuring you, or expecting too much! Deep down, you remember that they love you - so say thanks today! Tea in bed, a love note in a briefcase, a flower in the kitchen, a chocolate, doing a chore without being asked, or just a big hug will do - and get you a lot of brownie points!

Valentine's Day is all about feeling the blessings of the love we share - at least most days - and remembering to celebrate the relationships we value and work so hard to sustain. Have fun, remember what you love about each other, and spend a little time together - you will all feel better!
