Day 15 - Love Language - Thoughtful Presents
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.
