Super easy action items for each love language based on things we do every day, special events, etc
I think we all *think* these are self explanatory but these was a great new perspective to speak to my kids love languages!

Lots of good ideas for how to make sure your children know that you love them in their love language.

Great little book full of suggestions for activities you can do with your family, as well as how to incorporate each of the love languages into them. I really appreciated how it was all simple, do-able things. I got this book from the library but am getting a copy for myself to pick random pages from for days when the kiddos are restless!

Many of these ideas were pretty simple. After reading the first half of the book, the second half was pretty repetitive, as it’s often the same suggestion for each activity regarding words of affirmation. I did like a lot of the ideas and have done some with my kids, and plan to keep doing more.
