The premise of all of the 5 Love Language books<\/h2>\n

The premise of all of the 5 Love Language books is that we all give and receive love differently. And we all need to feel loved and heard in different ways. The author breaks this down into 5 love languages. We all have a primary language. <\/p>\n

In particular, in the children\u2019s edition can your children feel the love you have for them in a way that truly resonates with each of them?<\/p>\n

If you have multiple children then you may find that each person has their own love language, which differs from others. We are all unique after all. It is even possible that we have two love languages primary and secondary. The same is true for our children.<\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll get from this book<\/h2>\n

The ability to connect on a deeper level with your children in regards to how they feel loved. Of course, you love them, but this is about having them feel your love in the way that they need. Or as the author calls it having a full love tank. Is it empty or full? The work comes in keeping it full. <\/p>\n

I personally have referenced this book when having communication issues and behavior issues with my children. I have found that when someone is lashing out or getting into trouble, it\u2019s because I have not met their needs in their primary love language. Once I make this change the results in behavior changes and seeing how happy they almost immediately become, always fills my heart.<\/p>\n

\n

When a child\u2019s love tank is empty and attention is the only thing that will fill it, that child will go to almost any length to get what she needs.<\/p>\n

The 5 Love Languages of Children, Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This book and all of Gary Chapman\u2019s books are rooted in Christianity and do have references throughout the book. If this makes you uncomfortable and you\u2019d rather not read a book that references the bible then this may not be for you. However, I find that the overall message is more about learning communication skills and becoming better people by loving our person\/children in ways that fill them up.<\/p>\n

What are the Five Love Languages of Children?<\/h2>\n

Physical Touch<\/h3>\n

Your child loves to receive hugs and affection, and the like. <\/p>\n

\n

The language of touch is not confined to a hug or kiss but includes any kind of physical contact. Even when they are busy, parents can often gently touch a child on the back, arm, or shoulder.<\/p>\n

The 5 Love Languages of Children, Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Words of Affirmation<\/h3>\n

Giving your child encouraging and positive words will fill their love tank, while criticism and speaking out of anger cause deep hurt.<\/p>\n

\n

In communicating love, words are powerful. Words of affection and endearment, words of praise and encouragement, words that give positive guidance all say, \u201cI care about you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 5 Love Languages of Children, Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gifts<\/h3>\n

Does your child love to receive gifts? This doesn\u2019t have to mean monetary or luxury gift-giving. This can be a teddy bear you got for them, a birthday card, or something you made for them. They have these gifts displayed and will cherish them deeply. This child will also love to give gifts such as drawing a picture, giving you a flower, and so on. <\/p>\n

\n

A true gift is not payment for services rendered; rather, it is an expression of love for the individual and is freely given by the donor.<\/p>\n

The 5 Love Languages of Children, Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Quality Time<\/h3>\n
\n

Quality time is focused, undivided attention. <\/p>\n

Quality time is a parent\u2019s gift of presence to a child. It conveys this message: \u201cYou are important. I like being with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 5 Love Languages of Children, Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Acts of Service<\/h3>\n

This can be your child asking you to help with fixing a toy, making their bed or helping them with homework. <\/p>\n

\n

If your child\u2019s primary love language is acts of service, this does not ean that you jump at every request. It does mean that you should be extremely sensitive to those requests and recognize that your respone will either help fill the child\u2019s love tank or else puncture the tank.<\/p>\n

The 5 Love Languages of Children, Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My Thought on the Book<\/h2>\n

If you are looking for a way to better connect with your children or simply any person, then this book is a must-read. The book gives many different scenarios to determine the primary love language and how to use this in everyday interactions. <\/p>\n

In addition to learning the 5 love languages, you will also be given a test to spot your child\u2019s love language. I think depending on your child\u2019s age you can just ask them. Give them the descriptions of each and they can tell you pretty quickly. Although in the book it is recommended to not do this but rather deciphers for yourself. However, my kids were able to tell me once I reviewed each language. I found them to be right on. <\/p>\n
