It's Valentine's Day Tuesday, meaning children across the country are going to school, learning about love and caring for one another.

While lots of folks focus on Valentine's Day as a romantic holiday, it's also a day during which love in general is on the mind. And there is perhaps no greater love than love among a family and the affection a parent has for a child. With that in mind, here are 20 messages and sayings for kids to help celebrate Valentine's Day this year. Some quotes and messages were collected from The Flower Shop Network and Hallmark, while others were created by International Business Times.
