I attended a parenting class this evening that discussed this book:
It was very interesting! I learned quite a lot and went straight home and made my entire family take the “love language” test.
Here are a few things that we learned together…
- Mine and Annabelle’s language is “Words of Affirmation”.
- B’s language is “Quality Time”.
- Gwyneth’s language is “Physical Touch”.
The most important thing I learned from the class is that I try to show people I love them with things that important to me rather than what is important to them. When Gwyneth does well, I tell her “great job”, but she really needs a hug. Annabelle and I are planners and like to be on the go, but B really needs to just chill and have some good ol’, quiet, family time. Reading this book has changed the way that I’ve planned our summer and how I make time for our family.
I highly recommend checking out this book!
UPDATE: We’ve been practicing what we’ve learned from this book for the last several weeks and it has really changed our family. Pick it up and give it a quick read.
