I Love You Rituals
Adapted from Conscious Discipline, I Love You Rituals are playful, one-on-one interactions that build loving bonds while increasing attention span, decreasing power struggles and promoting language and literacy at school or at home. These brain-building interactions facilitate optimal development for young children and create lifelong bonds between children and adults.
There will now be an I Love You Ritual on every newsletter! For that entire month, our teachers will be doing the same I Love You Ritual center wide! 🥰 You can also do these I Love You Rituals at home too!
This month, we are going to ease into it and go simple. Below is the I Love You Ritual “On Your Face” that we will be doing:
On Your Face
“On your face you have a nose.
(Touch the child’s nose)
And way down here you have ten toes.
(Starting with your hands on the Child’s shoulders, slide down the child’s arms and then touch or point to the child’s toes)
Two eyes that blink,
(Touch the child on the temples next to his or her eyes)
And a head to think.
(With both your hands, gently cradle the sides of the child’s head)
You have a chin and very near,
(Touch the child’s chin)
You have two ears to help you hear.
(Touch both ear lobes and whisper something short into the child’s ear. Some suggestions are, “I love you”, “I’m glad to see you”, “I’m glad you’re in my class”. )
Arms go high and arms go low
[Arms go low and arms go high]
(Grasp the child’s wrist and hold the arms high over their head; then bring them back down (or vice versa if you’re using the variant line))
A great big hug to say hello [to say good-bye]
(Extend your arms and give the child a hug)
Variations: The last two lines can be changed as was indicated, depending on whether you are using the rhyme as a hello ritual or good bye ritual.
Here is a video example of this ritual. We encourage all families to practice these rituals at home as well!

At the end of the day, the most overwhelming
key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of the parents.

As always, NEVER hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
