Ive seen this many places, but supposed to be from 4-8yo's

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

Little kids just know love when they see it, don't they? This is my favourite:

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4
Wow.

^^^ I'm calling bull on that one, sounds lovely, but no way did that come out of a 4yr old's mouth.




Meanwhile, did anyone else see the title of this thread and start singing "WHAT IS LOVE LOVE LOVE baby don't hurt me" ?

They really are sweet!!! Kids hey? I like the dog one it makes me think of loyalty something we hold as important in our family

These actually got me thinking of kids and how sweet they can be. When he was about 6 Sam actually hugged and kissed Callum it scared Callum no end but we got it on video and still have it somewhere. They would never do that anymore!!!

Love is usually seen by the innocent eyes of the children. This thread made my heart glow with warmth as I remember the sweet nothings that my children give me everyday and are unfortunately, sometimes, left unnoticed. Usually, when I am too busy with my chores or with work, I forget to praise them and show how thankful I am for being my sweetest angels...

After reading this, I each gave my little girls kisses on the forehead and praises of thanks! :) It's the little tokens of love that are often unseen but are in fact with great meaning!...
