Hi Jane,
Thank you so much for creating “Pads on the back.” My kids love them and the pre-printed messages are just enough of a prompt to help me make the effort to fill them out. When something great happens, I leave them on my kids’ doors at night and in the morning their faces are beaming with pride. It’s so simple and means so much to them. They’ve memorized all my comments!
Thanks again,
Susan
I’ve heard from people who have kept one of these sheets that was filled out and given to them back in the 80s when the product first came out. I think it’s easy to underestimate how much a simple gesture (especially one with concrete “evidence”) of caring and appreciation can mean. Thank you.
