Our words have power. This is true for us all, but this is especially the case for parents. That’s why it is so important that parents take the time to speak to their children in ways that will leave a positive, lasting impact. Sometimes, this is done by teaching them words of affirmation. Other times, it’s finding the right moments to express just how much you love and appreciate them.

For Danielle Eilers, one of those moments happened on her little girl’s 5th birthday. This Mom and daughter had a whole day planned together. This included shopping and lunch at the American Girl store. While they were enjoying their meal, Danielle decided it was the right time for a heart-to-heart with Eve. Little did she know, however, just how emotional it would make the 5-year-old!
