Why it’s important for your CHILDREN to celebrate VALENTINE’S DAY

  When it comes to raising children, everyone has an opinion, right? Your husband tells you one thing, your mom another, your mother-in-law another, and so on, even the neighbor across the street. We know that, in the end, only you know your child so well that only you can choose what's best for their development. If you've heard conflicting opinions and are unsure about celebrating Valentine's Day, at Kiwilimón we share 5 reasons why your children should indeed celebrate this lovely date: 1. It helps them express their feelings Not all children find it easy to express their emotions. Precisely, these types of celebrations are an excellent opportunity for little ones to say what they feel without fear of being judged. 2. It allows them to strengthen their relationships Childhood is when we learn to relate to others. It’s important that, as moms, we teach them to build friendships and healthy relationships. Valentine’s Day is a perfect excuse to demonstrate this. 3. It’s a way to break the routine While it's important for little ones to understand the significance of schedules and routines, every now and then we should give them the chance to enjoy celebrations like, for example, Valentine’s Day. 4. It teaches them to value It’s not just about talking to them about love and friendship on this day, but about constantly conveying the importance of these in our lives. How about explaining to them that love and friendship are so valuable that they have a special celebration? 5. It’s an invitation to socialize and share Beyond buying and exchanging gifts, Valentine’s Day is a reason to gather and celebrate. Our mission as moms is to teach our children that the goal is not to buy, but to enjoy time with our loved ones. Enjoy this day with your children by preparing some delicious desserts.
