My son was sitting in my lap this morning sleepiness in his eyes watching Telletubbies and I was telling him that I love him which I do often because I feel all children accomplish more and are happier when they know they are loved by thier parents. I started to wonder how often is really often enough to tell the ones we loved how we feel. Is there a certian number of times...like say10 or so? can you say it too much? I dont know if there is a certian number of times it should be said. If there is some research that gives a actual number of times it should be said for best results. All I know is I tell my son often dispite his autism and hearing problems he smile each and everytime I say it and I know he knows he is loved :-)
