60+ cards or treats for kids' schools? Sorry, but no thank you. Here's a more stress-free way to celebrate Valentine's Day traditions without missing out on all the fun.
Yes! I have 3 kids that are 14, 12, and 10. When they were smaller and we had 3 full class sets of Valentines I would have them start signing the cards they picked out a few days in advance. They would never have sat and completed all of them in one sitting! Now that my 10 year old is the only one left in elementary school it was actually enjoyable to see him put the effort into his cards. I definitely take my kids leads on any school related involvement though. I ask and if they say no then I don’t push it. Kids are already so busy and involved. I want them to learn that their voice and interests matter.
