This Book is a Must-Read for All Parents!
I had been intrigued by
for awhile and finally read it last year. I loved it and it made so much sense to me. My husband and I ended up discussing it for awhile and still do occasionally. We have five-year-old boy/girl twins and I felt it was important for me to read The 5 Love Languages of Children because I want my children to grow up securely, knowing they are truly loved.
The 5 Love Languages of Children is written by Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and Ross Campbell, a psychiatrist who specialized in the parent-child relationship. If you've read The 5 Love Languages, you will recognize the same elements discussed in that book but this time, they apply to children, which is where Ross Campbell's expertise comes in to play. Since children are ever-changing and differ developmentally than adults, the concepts presented in this book are a great way to get to know your child better and hopefully have a more peaceful, loving household with children who grow up to be loving adults.
This book is comprised of 223 pages and there is a chapter devoted solely to each love language. Then, there are chapters that discuss discipline and learning, along with the love languages. There is also a chapter to help you find your child's love language, although this can be difficult because children are constantly changing so it's definitely a great idea to learn how to speak all five to them!
I'm so glad I read this and I wish I had read it sooner. My kids are still young and I think what I've just read can really help as they get older. I've been thinking about what their love languages could be and it's actually a bit difficult to pinpoint but now I've got the tools to help figure it out! If you are a parent, I strongly recommend reading this book. I'm glad I bought it so I can refer to it in the future. Even if you've read The 5 Love Languages, you'll want to read this one as well since there are differences between children and adults and the way they think. It's worth the time to read this book!
