Giving thoughtful presents is one of the five love languages.
• a way of showing our unconditional love
• not only dependent on their behavior or performance
• to celebrate birthdays, Christmas, other holidays
• use presents to celebrate achievements or to bring consolation when they're struggling
• can be small but make big impact
• find out what’s special for each child
Question: Try to rank the five love languages in order of importance for you, and then for each of your children.
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
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?
