The 5 Love Languages of Children: The Secret to Loving Children Effectively by Sophie Campbell, Gary Chapman

4.0

After reading The 5 love languages, I was curious about The 5 Love Languages of Children. To be honest I don’t really read any self-help and personal growth types of books, but as a parent of 2 small children I was curious about this specific book. Having read the 5 love languages first made me appreciate and understand the perspectives in this book more. It’s basically the same concept but applying it to your children. It focuses on the way they learn about love and how they express and demonstrate that love. While I understand this book won’t be for everyone I would highly recommend it to parents, especially if you ever feel like you are struggling to understand your child or the way they are behaving or why. One of the things I have found the most difficult about being a parent is that no one really talks about how hard and lonely of a journey it can be, yes it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done but also the most difficult. This book helped me realize some things and think about specific experiences in a new way. I think that’s why I appreciate it and would encourage other parents to read it too.
