The Five Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman

4.0

The five love languages have been on my radar since I was single. I've taken quizzes and been to seminars. Last year I borrowed the original from the library for couples. I had a crazy hard time getting into it and I never finished.
The children's version entered my tbr in 2003 when my oldest was like 2.5. She was a different toddler/baby. She was hard to motivate and was not particularly affectionate. She's six now and still squirms away from hugs and kisses. I believe in love languages because of my experiences with her.
I discovered her language pretty early in the book, but I kept reading because this book is so much easier and simpler than the original for me. This book has value beyond my life as a mother. This book helps break down different methods of communication for all. While I will never touch strangers, I can use the methods to express care and appreciation for those around me in my other relationships.
Fantastic book with great ideas! Highly recommend to all with AND without kids. This world could always use some more open minds and better communication.
