Ask a parent if they love their kid, and they will most likely say, yes. But are we loving our kids as well as possible?

I get this desire, and while we can't ever MAKE someone feel our love, we can certainly create an

Once objectification is happening, it is easy to justify further unkind behavior, and it snow balls from there.
