For preschool minds, it can be confusing how these things have anything to do with love. By teaching them the story of St. Valentine, we can show them that the true meaning behind Valentine\u2019s Day is to show love to others through acts of kindness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A long time ago, St. Valentine was sentenced to prison for helping people get married. Although his circumstances weren\u2019t great, he was still kind. So kind, in fact, that he healed the jailer\u2019s daughter of blindness. Valentine\u2019s Day is a great time for us to teach our kids to be kind to their friends and family, but also to people they may not know as well. Here are some ways to help your preschooler show kindness to others this Valentine\u2019s Day:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Designate a jar in your house to be filled with kind notes towards other family members. Your family can spend the beginning of February filling up the jar. On Valentine\u2019s Day, separate out the notes by person and let everyone read the kind things that were written about them!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Help your child make cards for people they appreciate. These cards could be for friends, cousins, or even their teachers!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Encourage your child to find a way to do something special for someone else. Ideas could include holding the door for a stranger, decorating cookies for your neighbor, or bringing a small token of appreciation to your mailman.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valentine\u2019s Day can be portrayed in so many different ways. By sharing the story of St. Valentine with our preschoolers, we can turn Valentine\u2019s Day into a meaningful holiday about being kind to others!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/kings-river\/2020\/01\/09\/too-cold-to-play-outside-games-to-keep-your-preschooler-occupied\/\"><strong>Too Cold to Play Outside?
