Item Description...
According to the authors, each child expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. A parent's love language may be totally different from that of his or her child, which causes hurt feelings and misunderstandings. With the help of this book, adults can discover their child's primary language and learn what they can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in their child's emotions and behavior.
Attitude. Behavior. Development. All depend on the love relationship between you and your child. Yet how can you make sure your child feels loved? Dr. Gary Chapman's Five Love Languages concepts have helped more than half a million couples develop stronger, more fulfilling relationships - by teaching them to speak each other's love language. Children, too, express and receive love through one of five different communication styles: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gifts or acts of service. The only problem is, your love language may vary from that of your child. So while you are doing all you can to show love, your child may be hearing it as something different. Discover your child's primary love language, and learn what you can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection and commitment - influences that will resonate in your child's emotions and behavior. A much-needed guidebook for parents, grandparents, teachers and anyone who is privileged to have children as a part of their lives. Special chapters cover Discipline and the Love Languages, Anger and Love, Single-Parent Families and Speaking the Love Languages in Marriage. Also includes The Love Language Study Guide.

| Great book. I highly recommend it. One of the best parenting books out there. A must read for all parents. It is a very short, quick read. | | |  | Great advice on how to fill up your child's love tank. Aug 28, 2008 |
| This book is a follow up to the best seller book for couples, The Five Love Languages, that is awesome and I like to give as a wedding gift. Anyway, it talks about filling a child's love tank by understanding how they like love expressed to them, whether by words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, gifts, or acts of service. They say that it really isn't possible to detect your child's primary love language until they are about five--so express love in all these ways while they're young and until you find out which way is most meaningful to them. One way to determine their primary love language is just to ask them how they know you (the parent) love them and see whether they describe presents, time together, things you've done for them, etc. | | | | I'll admit I was skeptical Jun 13, 2008 |
Ordinarily, the follow-on books are kind of flat. The Elizabeth George "After God's Own Heart" books seemed this way, although the first one, "A Woman After God's Own Heart" was excellent.
I was expecting the same sort of flatness from this book. I found a lot to apply in the original Love Languages book, and I'm still sneaking it into my marriage. It's one thing to tell your Quality-Time husband that you are a TOUCH wife, and a whole different thing to gently convince him to touch touch touch touch touch touch. It has brought me to a whole new level of positive reinforcement.
So I figured this one for kids would be a couple of hundred pages of telling parents that kids need *every* love language. And indeed, there was some of that.
But the book was full of clues for how to recognize your child's love language, how it may change over time, and how to communicate.
The book offered a lot. I thought the chapters on conflict were very worthwhile, and even on how to discipline in the different love languages. My kids are so different that I needed all the pointers I could get. And surprise -- thinking about love languages across generations has helped me communicate better with my parents, too -- off to a good start, anyway.
I read this 6 months ago. My eldest started talking more, to me and to other people, NOTICEABLY more, and it's bringing me some relief from one of my biggest parenting worries -- how remote this child has been. That has been the biggest and most immediate change in our family recently, and I can trace it to this book.
I would recommend you read the first Love Languages book first, and then this one to think specifically about your kids.
Oh, and for moms, definitely read A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George. It's family-enhancing.

A terrific book for all families. You will use this info again and again, not only with your children, but your spouse, family, and yourself.
Very good basic info on how to read your child (or anyone really) and provide the love they need.
I love this book and refer to it often. | | | | Good book Apr 20, 2008 |
