When my daughter and I were shopping in Fairbanks this summer, we browsed through a small bookstore and noticed this book. Both of us were intrigued with the book and quickly scanned it enough to realize it was a must read/must have kind of book. Since I'm an Amazon one-click girl and have the Kindle app on my iphone and my ipad, I ordered the digital version later that day. The author explains the five ways that children "hear" love.
Do you know how to fill your child's emotional tank? Does your child need physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, or acts of service? Your child can receive love in all these languages, but most children have a primary love language. As I reflect on my own love languages I know that physical touch---in particular hugs and words of affirmation speak to me. I'm wondering if love languages are hereditary? I enjoyed reading and learning about the different love languages and I encourage you to discover your child's love languages.
