Doing kind actions is one of the five love languages.

  • see the regular kind actions you do on their behalf as a way of showing them your love
  • look for opportunities to do something extra for them
  • be careful not to rescue them otherwise they won’t learn from their mistakes
  • give teenagers increasing responsibility
    • don’t do everything for them

remind them to express gratitude for what we or others do for them
