The 5 Love Languages of Children Review & Giveaway

Back in 2001, my husband and I became foster parents to three little boys (who have since moved on) and one of the most invaluable resources that we received as a new parent was a book called The 5 Love Languages of Children (Northfield Publishing, 1997, 2005 and the latest revision Feb. 2012) by Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell.  More than one million copies of The 5 Love Languages of Children have been sold to date, for a very good reason, in my opinion.

Here is the synopsis of The 5 Love Languages of Children from the back cover of the 2012 revision:

You know you love your child.  But how can you show it so they really feel loved?

 

The #1 New York Times bestselling The 5 Love Languages has helped millions of couples learn the secret to building a love that lasts. Now discover how to speak your child's love language--and make them feel loved in a way they understand.  Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell help you:

 

*Discover your child's love language
*Understand the link between successful learning and the love languages
*See how the love languages can help you discipline more effectively
*Build a foundation of unconditional love for your child

 

Plus: Find dozens of tips for practical ways to speak your child's love language!

As a foster parent, I have the unique experience of trying to discover how to best care for and parent a child who is a bit older, rather than grow along with my child, it made it all the more blatantly obvious, first, how much a child simply needs to be shown love and compassion in a way they can receive it and second, how different each child is. The 5 Love Languages of Children helped me figure out how to help reach each of the boys, and now, as I was reading through the latest edition, I realize that I have pulled knowledge learned from my original book to help discover my own son. Now, it has been such a long time ago that I read the original book, that I honestly can't tell you what has changed, but I do still feel like this is a book every parent should read to help decipher their own children. It is well written and easy to read and understand. 

I highly recommend The 5 Love Languages of Children to all parents, it could make such a positive impact on your relationship with your child.
