Reviews

I listened to this and found it helpful! A reviewed mentioned wanting a survey for the love languages and I think that would be helpful too. I liked the questions and ideas given to figure out what love language correlates with your kid tho. Will def be asking and observing to see which fills my kids tank up!

“How do you know mommy loves you?”
“Do you feel loved by mommy? Why?”

A good read. Just wish there’s a survey or test added to the book to make it easier to identify which is which. Otherwise a great read. I have 3 kids and each of them are different in their own way. Words of affirmation, quality time and physical touch. My husband’s love language is an acts of service. I couldn’t identify which gift I associate to the most.

I loved this one as much as the one for couples. He gives so much information for kids and parents. Kids range from infant to late teen. It is also good for grandparents, single parents and those peaky teen years.
