The Five Love Languages of Children, A Book Review

This Book is a ten! By: Gary Chapman

A Book Review. This book is a ten in my Opinion!

Chapman's five love languages are universal: physical touch, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and words of affermation.

These love languages are the same for children, teens and adult, though they will manifest in different ways.

For example, as an adult with the love language of acts of service, you might love when your partner puts gas in your car, while a child might apreciate exstra help with their home work or a parent making their bed for them. As parents we want to know our children well, we first do this by knowing, and then understanding our childs love language.

IDENTIFYING A LOVE LANGUAGE

Every person has a way they feel most loved Whe you are first learning about love languages, it is important to know your perfereded languagein addition to those in your close relationships.

For younger children its about watching the joy they have in their eyes inin the five different languages, you will need to watch then closly. As you learn the five love languagesthey will become easier to recognize in your self and your children.

Does your child always cuddle up to you when you sit down or ask for back scratches at bedtime? You probably have a kid who loves pysical touch.

Does your child treasure birthday cards filled with sweet sentimens from relitives> Your child might like words of affirmation.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

1. Every person will have a perferd love language that goes stright to their heart, but it does not mean that the other four languages should be cut out or ignored.

2. As your child grows and developes, so will their love languages be intentional as they grow what they need.

3. There are no incompatable love lauguages, only opportunities to love each other.

PRACTICAL USES FOR LOVE LANGUAGES

Knowing the love language of your children can be useful in daily interactionas well as special circumstances.

If a child loves one on one time maybe give them a exsperiental time of togetherness.

Trying to decide what to do for a birthday? Love languages to the resque!

The Five Love languages of Children

Parent, grand parent, gaurden

Have you ever wondered how God changes people? Maybe it seems like old habits never change no matter how hard you try. Maybe you have become discouraged in your lack of growth into Christ likeness. You know you are forgiven because of the cross, and you realize you are totally accepted by God on that basis. This is wonderful. And yet your desire to live more like God some how constantly falls short. God desires to transform our souls, this transformation occurs as we recognise that God created us to live in an interactive relationship with Him.. Our task is not to transform ourselves but to stay connected with God in as much of life as possible, as we pay attention to His Spirit in our lives we naturally and slowly become more like Him, which takes a life time. Our job is to do the connecting and God does the perfecting.

Jan Johnson

Every healthy parent wants their child to experience love and suceed in life. The single most important thing you can do for your child is to give them a firm foundation for life. God loves you and your child specifically by name, God wants your child to know Him, to be loved by Him, and learn to love others. To know God relationally as a friend, to know He will always be there to help them through the ups and downs of life. Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6
