Sweethearts Technique

Parents may find it difficult to give each children the one-to-one attention that they need if they have a large family. The Sweethearts Technique reassures the child they're always in their heart even when she isn't the focus of their attention. It can also help parents with multiple children see the children as individuals instead of one large pack. It was introduced in the Prescott family.

Steps:

 * 1) Cut large paper hearts out of colored construction paper, one for each child.
 * 2) Write a loving message specific to each child on their heart
 * 3) Hand out the hearts when you're all together, such as dinnertime, so the kids can share with each other the special messages.
