Time spent together is one of the five love languages.

  • The importance of giving our teenagers our undivided attention
  • doing something with them – it doesn’t have to be expensive
  • ask them what they enjoy doing
  • don’t set the bar too high – seize opportunities, go out for a pizza, walk the dog together, play or watch sport. go to the cinema or a concert
  • consider spending a more extended period of time with each child once a year

Can you remember a particular example of your parent(s) showing love to you in this way?
