Are you expressing your love in a way your child understands? Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell help you discover your child's unique communication style, so you can better meet his or her deepest emotional needs. From quality time to physical touch, these five "love languages" hold the key to your child's development and success.
Does your child speak a different language? Sometimes they wager for your attention, and other times they ignore you completely. Sometimes they are filled with gratitude and affection, and other times they seem totally indifferent. Attitude. Behavior. Development. Everything depends on the love relationship between you and your child. When children feel loved, they do their best. But how can you make sure your child feels loved? Since 1992, Dr. Gary Chapman's best-selling book The Five Love Languages has helped more than 300,000 couples develop stronger, more fulfilling relationships by teaching them to speak each others love language. Each child, too, expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. And your love language may be totally different from that of your child. While you are doing all you can to show your child love, he may be hearing it as something completely opposite.Discover your child's primary language and learn what you can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in your child's emotions and behavior.

Have only gotten through Chapter 2 so far, but have already began making some changes to communicate more love to my children - as every little bit of Love counts - the more the better. We as parents know how much we love and adore our children, but I truly didn't realize how they see it (or don't) from their viewpoint and this book tells you how to give them (SHOW them) that UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that they so desperately need! Found I was making some small - yet HUGE mistakes and this book is so easy to understand how these little 'lacks' can leave such a big empty hole in our little one's hearts if we don't fill them up with all the unconditional love we can possibly give them. I had previously read "How to Really Love your Child" which was written by Ross Campbell and it is a great one to go hand in hand with this. I think reading the "5 Love Languages of Children" first would have been a better order as Ross goes into 'keeping your child's emotional tank full' and how this makes such a difference (ALL The difference) in how they behave and if I'd have known about the 5 Love Languages first, I think applying his book would have been even easier....so, am planning on going back and re-reading 'how to really love your child' once I'm done with this one. Regardless, This is an AWESOME - MUST READ - for any and all parents. God gives us unconditional love All the time - how could we think to give our children any less.

In most relationships, good communication is lacking. The most common of which, is the ability to really listen. Of course, if I am listening, but you don't know my language, we don't connect. In The Five Love Languages, you care enough to learn what the child's love language is and speak it! If his love language is "quality time" and you are speaking "affirmation," no matter how sincere you might be, the child is not experiencing love from the giver.

This book was purchased for the parents of our first great grandchild. This is their first child and both come from rather dysfunctional homes. I bought this book as I respect previous writings of Gary Chapman, so I looked through this book and thought it was of the top quality that would help these new parents.
