1. Your newborn stares into your eyes
He's actually working hard to memorise your face. He doesn't understand anything else about the world, but he knows you're important.
2. Your baby thinks about you even when you're not around
Between eight and 12 months old, he'll start to scrunch his face and look around when you leave the room, and he'll smile when you return.
3. Your toddler throws wicked tantrums
Nope, those screaming fits don't mean he's stopped loving you. He couldn't show he was so hurt and angry if he didn't trust you so deeply.
4. Your toddler runs to you for comfort when he falls down or feels sad
Children this age may not truly understand the meaning of "I love you," but their actions speak louder than words.
5. Your preschooler gives you a flower picked from the garden
Or a finger-painted heart, a sparkly stone or another gift.
6. Your preschooler wants your approval
He'll start to be more cooperative around the house and he'll look for chances to impress. "Look at me!" will become a catchphrase.
7. Your school-age child trusts you with secrets
This could be his first crush or his most embarrassing moment. You're his confidante, even if he shies away from your hugs in public.
