Day 19 – Summary of the Love Languages


•  We need to express love to our child(ren) in all five ways
•  some expressions of love/love languages will be more important to them than others
•  as our children grow older we need to try to recognize their primary and secondary ways of feeling loved
•  pay particular attention to using their principal love languages

Question:
Which expressions of love do you think make the most difference to your children? Which of the five do you find most difficult to give? What would help you show love in this way?

  • our words can affect how our children think about themselves for the rest of their lives
  • don’t give praise indiscriminately – look for attributes and actions to commend them for
  • words of affirmation build them up and will affect their behavior and achievement
  • practice commending for success more than criticizing for failure
  • correct mistakes without condemning the child

How natural do you find it to speak affirming words to your child(ren)?  What helps you as a parent to give more praise than criticism?
