“Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss.” – Emily, age 8

“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.” – Jessica, age 8
This is so adorable:) It made me smile so much, and I loved Jessica’s answer. It’s so true! It encouraged me to say “I love you” more, to the people I really love
kids:)
what will you do if i poke you

what will you do if i pinch you

children have the most wisdom within their innocence and they dont even know it
soo cute made me laugh so hard and totally made my night!!! <3
Every single one made me smile…. These kids are truely smart and reminded me what love actually is again!
How come kids have more wisdom and knowledge of love than I do
The voices and spirits of these kids are so precious and wonderful. People let us teach these children to acknowledge their wisdom. We have to teach them to love who they are by loving who their are: their spirits.
These r all very cute but the one that is the most profound is nikkas comment: to love better try loving someone you hate. That is Gods love and it really does work, It teaches you unconditional love.
Love is destiny which you don`t know when happens and never dies. Dependent of somebody`s situation is very difficult to deside the determination for begining of any relations even it would be carefully, because Love could be both beatiful and in the same time painful in this tiny world!
“La vérité sort de la bouche des enfants” I loved it thank you for Sharing. One love

Seems like a lot of kids see how their mom shows their dad that she loves him, but not one example of the reverse.

Jesse, what about the grandpa helping grandma?
Absolutely adorable, a Childs heart is the most precious expression of love.
So many of these quotes show how much more powerful what we do in front of our kids is than what we simply say. This was truly heartwarming.

“Love is a thing that is a very important thing when kids grow up because when kids grow up they have to learn to love because they are going to get married when they grow up.” Elia, age 7
That’s not true… While you mention “dad” its unfair to allude to the thought that none of these talk about a love from a man or dad, to a woman or mom…
“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.” – Rebecca, age 8
many of the descriptions of love don’t specify a direction, and are general statements.
these descriptions are beautiful and heartwarming.
This is amazing! Kids truly see what matters in life!
I feel that the words of these children really reflect the teachings they receive from their parents.
While Bobby’s and Nikka’s responses were the most enlightened, Karl’s, Elaine’s, Rebecca’s and Karen’s responses were super cute. They all brought a smile to my face. Thanks for this post!
Sorry, I honestly do not believe that children said these things.

children are real observant….
these kids are very lucky, if they´re real
, to be growing up in environments where love is a normal expression. i personally did not have the fortune to come from a family where such things were there to be witnessed and therefore talked about. while its great that it is reminding people to pay attention to these oh so easy to overlook moments i also think its an opportunity for us really-tall kids to think about the fact that many of us kids, of both statures, rarely see this, and how we can show the ones that DON´T know what its really all about.

My nephew was asked the same question and his response was :
“Love means when you share the good foods with people ” Riaz 4
It’s really good and true, I like the sentence said by Clare… Soooooo cute.
This goes to show you that hate and racisum is taught in the home. If more parents would stop haiting the things that bother them the most because of their bad decissions the world would be a better place.
Rod, just on the outside looking in…
