      Rating: 3 of 5Solid overview of the 5 Love Languages as they apply to teenagers. I would've liked to read more specific examples and longer lists of ideas. The profile at the end of the book was most helpful in confirming my teenager's primary and secondary languages.Note: This was more religious than I was expecting but it wasn't a big deal to overlook the scripture and section about "God."
    • 2/5
      Some bits were interesting and relevant, but for the most part the author seems to be completely out of touch with both teens AND their parents. For example, suggesting that we read the lyrics of the music our kids listen to. It would have been fine if he'd stopped right there, but to go on to say there's no way parents would be able to understand the recorded version is absurd.
    • 4/5
      Although I had heard people talk about the five love languages, this is the first book on them that I've ever read. I enjoyed the book and learning about each love language and thinking about our boys and trying to determine what their love language might be. I thought the last couple of chapters drifted a little off topic, though.
    • 3/5
      I find this book useful in helping me to recognize and practice different ways of showing love (and of recognizing when someone else is trying to show their love for me). It didn't blow my mind, perhaps because I already knew a bit about the concept from a session I attended at a homeschooling conference. It was decent, though. I was a bit disappointed there wasn't a simple quiz to take to identify my children's love languages. This is a bit funny to me, since I tend to ridicule books with quizzes in them. I've so far not been able to identify anyone's love language, but I have expanded my repertoire of ways in which I express my love.
    • 5/5
      This is a must have book for all parents. Each child, as we all know, is different. This book is a good reminder of the ways we show our Children "Love". It is not the same for each Child in the family. There are some really good examples shown in the book, and it is a good reminder.Sometimes we try so hard to be doing the right things and we fail to understand that we need to do things differently. I recommend reading this book for some great insights, and applying them in real life!“Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products orservices mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention iton my blog.

      We all understand the importance of loving our children and showing them how much they are loved, but did you know that there are ways of showing our children love that really speak volumes to them and their heart? It's true, just like there are languages that speak to the adult hearts, our children have different needs that show them that we truly love them. Each has a unique language that speaks love to them.This is why often times we may bend over backwards as a parent and our children still look at us, telling us that they desperately need to feel our love. What is happening is that we aren't speaking the same languages that they need. There are 5 love languages that speak to our children and sometimes there is a combination that works well for our kids. Some love Words of Affirmation, being told what a great job they are doing, how much we love and care for them, acknowledgement that we see what they are doing and praising them. While for yet other children, Acts of Service, speaks to their hearts, such as doing kind deeds for them, taking them to lunch, or a ball game, just spending time with them, and yet another is Physical Touch. These are the children who thrive on hugs and kisses and touch instead of words or actions by us.Authors Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell have collaborated to help parents speak the language of love our children so desperately need to hear in their book, The 5 Love Languages of Children. In this book not only do they break down each of these in detail, but it also includes a game to help both parents and children understand what works well for them. This way we can speak love to our children without being frustrated on both ends. It can also help us discipline our children more effectively when it needs to be addressed. This is a must read for anyone who deals with children, whether it be parents, grandparents and even child care givers or teachers!I received this book compliments of Propeller and Northfield Publishing for my honest review and learning so much about the love languages when it comes to adults, this seemed a natural for me to read as a parent. So many times with multiple children we try not to appear to favor one child over the other but often times find our actions frustrating when they don't respond as we would hope. This book really helps to identify what works for each child. I rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars and seeing it benefiting even teachers who may be frustrated in reaching children who are struggling with learning. This book speak volumes to the hearts of our children.

      This book has been extremely helpful in parenting my daughter. A friend recommended this, and while I didn't relate to the religious content of the book, it didn't overwhelm the rest. I wasn't surprised to learn that "Quality Time" was my daughter's preferred love language. What is helpful are the suggestions for creative ways to achieve it, especially for working and busy parents who might otherwise try to use gifts or verbal acknowledgment (as we did) to replace what the child actually craves.
    • 4/5
      This is the first "Love Languages" book that I have read. It gave great insight into children and the ways they express and understand love. It also provided ideas on positive parenting and discipline with love.
    • 4/5
      Good read for any parent. Opens your eye to the necessity of continuously showing love to your child in the way that the child is sensitive to. Eg some children feel loved when you hug them, others prefer you to spend quality time with them
    • 5/5
      Both my wife and I read the Five Languages of Love book and that definitely benefited us. We both read this one too and agree that it has provided deep insights into loving our child more.The tips that the authors provide regarding discovering your child's primary love language are elegantly simple. They just make complete sense. Also, the pointers on 'what do to if [x] is your child's primary love language', at the end of the chapters, are quite enlightening.The chapter on disciplining was fascinating as well. It says 'ask "What my child needs when he misbehaves?" instead of "What should I do to correct his behavior?"' - neat, real neat. It goes on to say that disciplining should be done only when the child's love tank is full, else the child will develop a resentful mindset.Fathers (myself included) - apparently there's a 11-yr study that says that children grow up much better when we are involved with them during their childhood days.While reading the book I was trying to identify the primary love language of our (almost) 4yr old. But the authors say that below 5, children expect to be loved in all of the 5 ways and that's very true of our kid."Don't be a victim of the urgent. In the long run, much of what seems so pressing right now won't matter. What you do with your children will matter forever." - absolutely true (especially for the corporate employees).
    • 3/5
      While I found a lot of the stories about parents and their children very tragic, I enjoyed learning about how to love children in a way that will be most meaningful to them. I especially enjoyed the chapter about teaching children how to deal with their anger in an appropriate way.
