Funny Messages
Even though 13 is only one little year older than 12, it might feel like a big jump. But teens can still enjoy humor. Expect an eye roll instead of an all-out laugh, though, since laughing may not be cool at this age.

A 13th birthday is a big deal. Your child is entering his teenage years. You should be prepared for some challenging times ahead as children of this age tend to develop a rebellious streak, so managing them can be a difficult task. On this birthday, more than gifts, what he needs is your support. He needs the belief that come what may, he would find you standing behind him, extending your complete support. He should know that he always has you to count on. He should have the firm belief that your love for him is unconditional. It is not gifts or parties that would convey him these feelings. Simple words would do the trick.
Words have the power to melt hearts. Heartfelt words can get through you and ensure they remain with you forever. Therefore, on this birthday, give your child something that would stay with him and make him feel your love. This will ensure that he knows how important he is to you. It is the simplest of words that have the most impact. Do not let go of this opportunity and let your child know how much he means to you.
