they are loved and accepted just like they are!

6. Cheer them up when they need it. Try and improve their life any way you can!

7. Be vulnerable. Be who you are. No pretenses. Let them relax with you with no need to impress. Let them be
comfortable around you. Love them when you really know them and their weaknesses!

8. Really be happy at their accomplishments. Value them and what they do!

9. Be there for them when things do not go as expected or as they had hoped!

10.Make time for them. It is not about the money, the gifts, the things but them as a person that you value!
