RALEIGH, N.C. — I believe a parent's two most important jobs are to keep their kids safe and make sure they know they are loved.

We know that as children get older, their friends can have a powerful influence over them. Instilling confidence in your children at an early age is key to helping them react to peer pressure, body images issues and bullying.

This Valentine's Day, sit with your children as they answer the questions on this free printable worksheet. I created this as a way to open up dialogue between parents and children of all ages and stages. Download the worksheet via this link.

Make a copy for yourself and fill it out with your kids. Then have everybody share their answers. I'm sure there will be a few surprises.

If you want an extra tool to help remind your kids that you love them, check out the printable Lunchbox Love Notes I shared last year.
