5 Love Languages of Children
Based on the same ideas as the bestseller The Five Love Languages, also written by Gary Chapman, this book focuses on cultivating a loving relationship with your children. This entails identifying your child's primary love language: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, or acts of service, and then learning to speak it to them. In the first chapters, Gary concentrates on each of the five love languages in turn. Using real-life examples of children and their parents, he details each language, showing the different aspects of it and offering guidance on how to "talk" to your child in this language. Each of these chapters also concludes with a long list of specific ideas for speaking the language such as baking together, having a campout in your own yard, taking family walks, and asking specific questions about their day for "quality time" children. If your child's primary love language hasn't become clear already by reading these chapters, Gary provides tips for identifying it in the next chapter. He then tackles helpful subjects in light of the love language approach: discipline, learning, anger and love, speaking love languages in single-parent homes, and speaking the love languages in marriage (a good marriage can only benefit your relationship with your children). Ideas for further reading and a helpful love language assessment test are contained at the end of the book. A free online study guide is available online. 224 pgs, pb. ~ Steph
