felinity 's review for:
The Five Love Languages of Children
by Gary Chapman
This was a joint read, so we could read and discuss our parenting tactics, but it became much more than that. We'd worked through [b:The Five Love Languages|952|The Five Love Languages of Children|Gary Chapman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1438759392s/952.jpg|5166] before and I remember being blown away by that, not expecting the same thing here - and for a very different reason.
Our experimental test subject (first child) is still a toddler, under the key age for this book; the specific tactics aren't really applicable for under 4s, and you probably want to implement them before the teenage years begin (for everyone's sanity), so instead of plottingevil loving parental strategy we found ourselves mulling over our own childhoods and seeing them in an entirely new light. You could almost use this as a pre-counseling book, if needed.
Although nominally a Christian book you won't find it out of place anywhere - this is a parenting book, first and foremost. Anything else is by-the-by. I dinged a star because it was too repetitive in some places, but then I suspect it was also designed to allow people to just read one chapter here or there and still make sense of it.
Highly recommended to anyone who has children or plans to.
