What made you feel loved as a kid? Think about it. Maybe you remember rollerblading with your parents on holiday? Being helped with homework? Or just telling them what you thought was a really big secret? There certainly is a time and place for big presents and gestures but very often, it is the small things that count.
Turns out, quite a few of them end up on the Internet, too. And we at Bored Panda did our best to collect them. Below you will find a wholesome series of posts where kids celebrate their parents' signs of affection. Whether we're talking baking cookies or 3D-printing a little anti-stress elephant, these moms and dads went the extra mile for their kids, and even if some of them weren't executed to a tee, it's the intention that matters.
Continue scrolling to enjoy the entries and check out our interview with Vicki Broadbent, a writer, director, broadcaster, and founder of an awesome parenting blog called Honest Mum.

Every Parent Should Be So Cool; The World Would Be A Better Place
Nate, I overheard your phone conversation with Mike last night about your plans to come out to me. The only thing I need you to plan is to bring home OJ and bread after class. We are out, like you now. I’ve known you were gay since you were six, I’ve loved you since you were born. -Dad. P.S. Your mom and I think you and Mike make a cute couple.
For y’all if you’re having trouble reading it

Please send my condolences to your friend. I hope she and her wife are very happy together! <3
Load More Replies...Really nice. That it's something he can read over and over is the best. Great parents, and funny. OJ and bread!
I wish my parents were like this! They'd yell at me, judge me, and maybe kick me out.
Do you have friends or relatives who are supportive? In case your situation gets too difficult or you do need a place to stay?
Load More Replies...By no means do these posts mean that children are content with just short bursts of affection. Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. "Children want your time and attention, plain and simple," Vicki Broadbent, the author of Mumboss: The Honest Mum's Guide to Surviving and Thriving at Work and at Home, told Bored Panda. "While every child undoubtedly loves a treat, a present, or a party, what they consistently crave is quality time with their parents and carers. They want you to listen to them (however long and convoluted their stories are) and when they request you play with them, they want you to do just that and not just once."
Children want you to commit to them and they can tell the difference when you are consistently showing care by devoting your time and energy. "Even if you can only spare 10 minutes of your time a day (because the parenting juggle is real), please try to do so," Broadbent advises. "Having children allows you to relive your own childhood, to feel free and see the world through your children's precious eyes so don't miss the opportunity."
On Mother's Day In Thailand, Dad Put On A Dress For His Son, Because Everyone Was With Their Mothers, And His Mother Died
This is why I hate mothers day, fathers day, mother/father events st schools. For many children it's an awkward/uncomfortable/painful reminder that they don't have a mother and/or father.
Those 10 minutes don't have to be anything glossy. Simply, genuine. Broadbent, for example, said her mom would tell her stories of her own childhood, and they were her personal favorites. According to the mother, board games, sports, and other activities that encourage imaginative play and the family can enjoy together are also great ideas for those precious moments. "I love sharing the programs and films I loved as a child with my own kids (we're currently watching Sister, Sister on Netflix) and we often bake the biscuits I'd make with my Dad and the crumble that got me through every exam I've ever taken. Let yourself go and enjoy parenting."
These things help parents become attentive on a daily basis. "It is your job as a parent and carer to make your child feel emotionally secure and loved. If you were denied this as a child yourself and require help on how to connect with your child and become more demonstrative, please consider therapy so your children won't miss out on that crucial love and support every child needs and has a human right to."
This Dad Is Doing Parenting The Right Way!
I think his son got the message. When my son came out, I handled it well (I already knew) but his dad had a little trouble. My son actually asked if we still loved him. 😥 ❤️ ❤️
Sadly a lot of parents reject kids who come out. I remember being a TA a t Pitt and a kid in my friend's section came out and his family cut off all his funding and threw him out of the house over fall break. We rushed to try to get him into the dorm and on a payment plan so he could stay in school. Pitt actually did a good job offering support
Load More Replies...I think a lot of parents that have a problem with their kid being gay are too concerned with what other people will think. If their friends/family/colleagues/church were accepting and they were the odd man out it would be a different story. It's ironic to me because people are willing to disown their kids so that they can fit in and now their kid doesn't even feel like they fit in with their parents....it's basically caring more about your reputation than your child's well being.
I've heard the argument: "Your grandparents will have a heart attack!" I doubt it, but they're free to choose that hill to die on. The child needs the support of their parents at the start of their own lives.
Load More Replies...Aw! Looks like the son doesn't have to worry about how dad feels anymore. Those cupcakes are perfect!
I love the cupcakes too! and they're so beautiful!
Load More Replies...One of the most bonding times Broadbent experiences with her own kids is when she reads to them at bedtime, a tradition which started when they were babies and has continued to this day, even though the fellas are already 10 and 8. "I relish in playing the different characters' voices and making the stories come alive for my kids," she said. "It's a time we are able to enjoy one another's company without distractions. I cuddle and kiss my kids a lot but I'm mindful that now that my son is 10, he doesn't want PDAs when I drop him off at school, for example, so I'm always respectful. It makes the odd hand holding extra special. Both of my sons know that they are enough and they are loved as I tell them every day, and in return, they are able to show love and care back."
Don't stress yourself with expensive gifts, Broadbent highlighted, those are not the things children will remember. "Consider the values you want your children to garner, not of materialism but connectivity, shared experiences, charity and empathy."

This Dad, Who Never Promised You Maturity
And 'Fart' in English is 'Prut' in Danish ;)
Load More Replies...That's def something my dad would have done...he and his friends mooned the Amtrak one year, he told my friends to call him your majesty when they came over. Even when he was sick he asked the nurse before being wheeled into surgery "Will I be able to play the piano after this?" and she goes "Of course!" and my dad said "Wow really! That's cool I've always wanted to know how to play the piano!"
I imagine he was really chuffed that she’d fallen for it.
Load More Replies...Wholesome Graduation
Is this some American madness that I'm too European to understand?
within the US, there have been periods where they let illegal immigrants who'd been there long-term, come forward and gain citizenship (on the basis that they'd not committed any crime etc). I think the last time they did that was the late 80's (?). More recently, there was the DREAM act, a bill that aimed to grant legal status to young immigrants residing in the U.S. unlawfully after being brought in by their parents. This became DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Trump tried to get rid of the program, which would have meant a lot of USA-raised kids being forcibly deported. The Supreme Court rejected his attempts, in June 2020.
Load More Replies...What a shame that it was taken away, but glad that she graduated. Thanks, Papi.
As a nation we need to do better by our dreamers. Congratulations to you both!
he's amazing, and you're amazing, I'm proud of both of you for pulling through
to everyone saying we should just deport everyone here illegally, no we shouldn't. we need to make our systems better so that those deserving of citizenship can gain it and those that are undeserving do not.
Stupid reason to take away your scholarships!! You earned them!!

They sing it because of the chorus "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away" The chorus is sweet. The rest of the song... not so much. :(

That is awesome, I bet the delivery cost more than the actual mango too.
This Is Amazing. A Mother's Love Is Truly Great
Why don't schools realise that children don't always have the full set of parents or even any at all?
I think these specific days end up being very exclusionary. I know Mr. Rogers always used "your grown up" so all kids would feel included and I have learned from teaching the family lesson to EFL students many don't have parent s ( usually they live with grandma) or only one parent and are often ashamed which is sad.
TBH I don't like the whole "day with dad/mom" things because not all kids have a dad and a mom, some have 2 moms, 2 dads, single-parents, nb parents, etc, and it's kinda exclusionary
Maybe like Party/Pancakes with Parents or Gumbo with Guardians.
Load More Replies...Those kind of themed parent days are awful, honestly. Not all of us have both parents or a parent who can just take off from work to come to school for donuts. These things just make a bunch of kids feel even more inadequate.
I'm a single mom and I hate when my daughter has dad events at school. BUT luckily she has the best godparents in the world and her godfather is always willing to step up when we need a dad – like taking her to the daddy-daughter dance ❤

My Dad Has Been Peeling Oranges For My Lunch Since Kindergarten & On My Last Day Of High School I Got This Instead
nope nope nope I'd make him peel them forever. My Appa (Grandpa) used to sneak me M&M's or a cookie before dinner and say "Don't tell Grandma and don't spoil your appetite." When I was in my very early 20's he handed me some M&M's and whispered "Don't tell Grandma and don't spoil your appetite." I laughed and said "Appa I'm in my 20's this won't spoil my appetite and who cares if grandma sees?" He looked sad and said "Don't you take this from me" I graciously accepted and he passed a year later. No one tries to spoil my dinner anymore and it's been 16 years since he's been gone and I miss it terribly. I can't wait to have grandkids so I can do it to them.

My Son Broke His Wrist And It Extra Sucks Since We Are Stuck At Home For At Least Another Month. I Decorated His Cast And Now He Loves It And Is Super Happy To Finally Have A "Tattoo"
I'm not an artist but am really proud of this.
If you have to wear a cast, why not have fun with it? When I broke my foot, I asked for a pink one for Valentines Day. When they had to put on a second one, I asked for green for St. Patrick's.
when i broke my ankle I asked for and got a purple cast. The doctor that I saw shortly after that said why purple casts are supposed to be white. I replied my shoe has pink and purple accents and a pink shoelace. My purple cast has a black knitted toe cover held on with a pink shoelace so they sort of match. He wasn't convinced. The next one was pink and I changed the shoelaces. Saw a different doctor the next time I went in and he put me in a boot, an ugly gray boot, he apologized that it was not available in colours.

I think that one of my favorite memories of my mom is that she would always leave a treat or a present on my bed for me to find when I got home from school! Even after I graduated, she would still leave presents for me every now and then!

So supportive, it make me well up every time I think about it.
Please don't cry: my 95 yo grandma had a gift for every boyfriend of my brother for christmas. Labeled "MR Firstname". She's 95. French, she lived under war. I'm so proud of her!
