Do you speak "Love"?

Do you know your child's "love" language? In other words, what do you do or say that causes your child to feel loved?
Do you know how the language is different from one child to another?
Knowing what makes your child feel loved can help you be more intentional in demonstrating that love to your children in a way that has the strongest connection for each one in his/her own unique way.
Here are five suggestions that come from a book called
“The Five Love Languages of Children” by Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell.

Which do you recognize as the language your own children speak?
Can you think of others?

1. Words of Affirmation

2. Quality Time

3. Receiving Gifts

4. Acts of Service

5. Physical Touch
