7 Ways Guests Can Show Appreciation When Kids Give Up Their Rooms — 8 Comments

  1. In staying with my granddaughter she wrote a welcome note to me and pinned it on her bulletin board. We wrote notes back and forth during my visit.
    I do avoid stuffed animals because children have so many.

  2. Great practical ideas! It can be especially hard to give a stranger not just their bed but also their own space and privacy. I like your point about how these small gestures show children that their sacrifices matter.

  3. This is a powerful concept, Linda. Thank you for sharing these suggestions. I remember when my very young daughter slept in a special box we fixed up for her with a mat on the floor for a weekend so we could let a visiting couple sleep in her bed. She was excited about it.

    • Thanks, Janice. My daughter loved giving up her room, too. But even so, it wasn’t without sacrifice. It was a particular joy to her when one thoughtful guest left a thank-you note on her pillow when he left. She found it at bedtime and was thrilled!
