The Five Love Languages of Children

The Five Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman

Amazon Description:

“Does your child speak a different language? Sometimes they wager for your attention, and other times they ignore you completely. Sometimes they are filled with gratitude and affection, and other times they seem totally indifferent. Attitude. Behavior. Development. Everything depends on the love relationship between you and your child. When children feel loved, they do their best. But how can you make sure your child feels loved? Since 1992, Dr. Gary Chapman's best-selling book The 5 Love Languages has helped millions of couples develop stronger, more fulfilling relationships by teaching them to speak each others' love language. Each child, too, expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. And your love language may be totally different from that of your child. While you are doing all you can to show your child love, he may be hearing it as something completely opposite. Discover your child's primary language and learn what you can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in your child's emotions and behavior.”

My Thoughts:

This is a very important book for parents. I loved reading about how to express my love in more productive ways. My kids definitely have different love languages. Chapman describes it so well. A definite recommend!

The 5 Love Languages

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

Chapman shares his theory on how humans express love and how they feel love. I found this very interesting! I am not 100% decided on what language I relate best to…but I could easily pick out how my husband is most comfortable showing his love.

A good read for everyone!
