Each child has his or her own primary love language. In the book, The 5 Love Languages of Children, Gary Chapman, PhD and Ross Campbell, MD shares their research and experience on the 5 love languages of children that every parent need to identify in order to raise children who will grow into giving, loving and responsible adults.

As a parent, each chapter begins by pointing out the importance of the specific love language for your child, the importance of identifying the love language, and ends with practical ideas for helping you speak that love language with your children.

This book offers enlightenment to all parents; single or married.

As a parent, this book will show you how to recognize and speak your child’s primary love language as well as the four other love languages that can help your child know you love him or her.

There are five ways children (indeed, all people) speak and understand emotional love. They are physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, and acts of service. For just as children often have different personalities, they may hear in different love languages.

The book emphasizes the importance of love in rearing your child. The ultimate goal is to rear your child (or children) to become a mature adult. All aspects of a child’s development require a foundation of love.
