Comfort Charm for Children
By Lady of the Shadows
Every new hurdle a Child faces in life is filled with moments of insecurity and fear. Of course, it is impossible for parents to be there all the time. Many parents nowadays must work to support their familes and, once children enter school age, they are away from us for long periods of time each day anyway.
Here is a special charm that will help comfort them with love when we cannot be with them.
Many of us have an old chain and locket in our jewelry box at home. If not, you can buy one as a special surprise for your child when you know she will be facing something difficult, like the first day of school. Better yet, you can make one with a bead kit. Place a photo of you and your child in the locket. If the locket is too small, just a picture of yourself will do. Fill the locket with kisses in front of your child. Write a short blessing/prayer about your love for her or you can use the one below.
Within this locket, that we made
my love for you is found,
All you have to do is look inside
and I will always be around.
Let her know that the locket represents your love that is always with her. Whenever she feels insecure or frightened, she can open it for comfort from you. The locket can be refilled with love on a regular basis.
Childhood is a magical time. It is up to us, as parents, to nurture that magic, so that it can remain with them for a lifetime.
