Valentine's Day is upon us, and what better place to seek insight into the meaning of love than with a group of children.

The NOW spent a recent morning at Stride Avenue Elementary in Helena Readman's Grade 2 class to chat with children about the meaning of love - what it looks like and how it makes one feel. The students were asked to complete the sentence: Love is . Here are some of the responses we heard.

Love is when my mom makes me dinner. Love is when my mom and dad kiss me on the cheek. Love is when I get hurt, my sister helps me. Love is when I am sad, my brother helps me to be happy again. - Mariel, 7.

Love is helping your friends and being kind to people and others. Love is sending Valentine's cards to people. Love is caring to others. - Victor, 7.

Love is when my mom and dad come to the hospital with me when I'm sick. - Hannah, 7.

Love is work. I go to bed, I sleep and my mom reads a book, and I sleep in bed. My mom kisses me and I sleep. - Sulaiman, 7.

Love is when my aunty and my mom made me some cereal before I came to school today.

Love is when I get tired on the couch and my mom picks me up and she took me to my room and she reads me a bedtime story and she tucks me in and kisses. - Edric, 7.

Love is when I fell down the stairs, I went to the hospital. My dad slept at the hospital.

Love is when my mom gives me kisses. Love is when I help my mom wash the dishes, too. Love is cleaning my room, too. - Mireya, 7.

Love is like when I help. Also it is about helping sound out words when my mom tucks me into bed and kisses me, and when helping my mom make dinner, and I help my sister make macaroni. - Om, 8.

Love is like when my mom kisses me and hugs me when I'm in bed. Love is like when I was sick, I went to my auntie's house and I felt OK. Love is like when I helped my mom clean. Love is like when I make breakfast for my mom.

Love is sharing, and sharing makes friends and friends help you, and helping helps each other. It makes my feelings more better.
