The 5 Love Languages of Children

I spend most of my time with my kids. We enjoy learning, cooking, cleaning, reading, and playing together. It is so awesome to watch them grow and discover their own talents and interests. It amazes me that in some areas they act just alike and in others they are total opposites. Not only do they have different learning styles, interests, and talents they also have different love languages.

I have been reading The 5 Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman, PhD. and Ross Campbell, MD. This 221 page book talks about the how we can show our children that we love them in a way they need to be loved. Children do their best when they feel loved but if your child has a different love language than you it can be hard. This book talks about all 5 love languages and how to discover your child's love language.

"By speaking your child's own love language, you can fill his "emotional tank" with love. When your child feels loved, he is much easier to discipline and train than when his "emotional tank" is running near empty."

~The 5 Love Languages of Children

This paragraph taken from The 5 Love Languages of Children speaks volumes. I have had people ask me why I don't have to discipline my kids that much when they are always getting onto their kids. I had originally thought that because I am with my children all the time & could catch bad behavior before it got out of hand but now I am thinking that their love tank is being filled. I can look back at times when they were misbehaving more & those are the times that we were extra busy and not able to spend the amount of quality time that my kids are used to. 

I think everyone involved in a child's life should read this book & one of my lucky readers can win one.
