Help Your Middle Child Feel Special with Tips from GiftWorksPlus

Celebrate National Middle Child Day in August with GiftWorksPlus as a time to recognize the quiet attributes of this peace-loving child who has been placed between the oldest child with leadership abilities and the youngest child who tends to receive a bit more indulgence. Don’t let your middle child “get lost in the shuffle.” Show him that he is second to none each and every day! However, every child needs to know he is loved and valued. Bethany Kandel shares “25 Ways to Show Your Kids You Love Them” in her recent article in the Ladies’ Home Journal. Here are a few brief ideas:

• Spend time alone with each child.
• Praise good effort and a job well done, not just results.
• Celebrate everyday accomplishments.
• Say positive statements rather than negative.
• Let your child choose his own clothes.
• Really listen when he is talking to you.
• Let your child overhear you complimenting him to someone else.
• Hug him, kiss him, and say, “I love you” every day, no matter his age.
• Forget about yesterday and start each day fresh.
• Look at photo albums and baby books and tell each child the stories of their lives.
