Dear sweet boy child,

You are the best!
I want you to always remember that you are a king.

Please, do not allow yourself to be pressured or forced into becoming a man prematurely, take your time and enjoy your boyhood.
The only time you should get into bigger roles is when it is either you or nothing, then it is understandable.

The world is very huge, very demanding, very annoying, but you can make the very best of it.

You are one to handle too many responsibilities to count here, but you will always have ways to handle them appropriately, at times with ease, and sometimes a bit of difficulty.
But don’t allow these situations or people inundate you.

Like I always tell you, please express yourself as much and as best as you can; your emotions don’t make you weak, they make you human.

Cry, laugh, play, express yourself boldly, confidently, and respectfully; be serious, be real, be respectful, be sensitive, be understanding, be humane, be empathetic, be good, be kind, but always be observant and smart.

You are expected to be “the man” even at a very young age, but always ask for help whenever you need it, whenever you want it, whenever you are confused, and whenever you are overwhelmed – help is always available; trust me.

I am always rooting for you, baby.
You’ve got this; you are a winner.

I celebrate you today and always.
I am here for you; talk to me anytime you feel like, I am always available for you.

I care about you.
I love you.

Happy International Day of the Boy Child,
