Anyone else ask their child what they had for school lunch and come away knowing…absolutely nothing? 😂

Since our daughter started Reception, we’ve been trying school meals — and although she assures me she eats them ( half she says!), the fact she comes out of school absolutely STARVING tells me otherwise. 😅

I know I can’t control everything she eats during the day, so alongside offering a varied diet at home, we’ve added Multi Gummies to our daily routine.

They contain 14 vitamins, minerals and plants to support children’s daily nutrition, with no added sugar or sweeteners 🙌

And after using them for the last couple of months, the biggest win? She LOVES taking them. In fact, she’s usually the one reminding me. 😂

It’s just one simple way we can feel a little more reassured that we’re covering some of those nutritional bases — especially during the school week.

Want to try them?

Michael Owen recently said he doesn’t tell his children “I love you” because he believes they know through his actions.

I can understand part of that.

Love absolutely is something children feel through what we do.

Showing up.

Listening.

Comforting them.

Keeping them safe.

Being there when things are hard.

Those things matter enormously.

But personally, I don’t think the words lose their meaning because we say them often.

I don’t want my daughter to have to look back at everything I did and work out that she was loved.

I want her to know it now.

To feel it in the way we treat her.

To see it in the way we show up.

And to hear it in words too.

There are lots of ways to communicate love, and every family will do that differently.

For us, it’s not actions or words.

It’s both.

❤️ I want her to hear it, feel it and never have to wonder.

I’m really interested in this one:

Do you think children need to hear the words “I love you” or can actions say enough?

Keep it respectful in the comments. I’d genuinely love to hear how different families see this.
