"I took a class that used this book and at the time, thought it was fabulous and brilliant and insightful. My kids were really young and I couldn't wait for them to be old enough to try this all out on them.
I just went back and re-read it, and this time found it interesting and somewhat helpful but lacking in concrete ways to determine love languages in children. It would have helped to have more examples of the "either/or" questions, for example. I was reading it specifically for help with one child, and having finished the book I am not sure I have much more insight on her than I did before reading it. The other two kids were more easily "pegged" into this book. But if the book doesn't help with the more "difficult" case, then what is it for?
Like Dr. Sears or any of the myriad experts on young children, this book essentially promises that if you follow its approach, you WILL be a fabulous parent and have well-adjusted, happy children who grow into productive adults. Well, that's all well and good if your children happen to have read this book and decided to follow along.
Anyway, I still the general theory is a good one and it has helped me over time when I've had trouble connecting with people and couldn't understand why. Like anything else of this genre, in the end I found some useful nuggets but also some flaws."
"Aware that each one of my sons were 3 indiviual people, with their own unique makeup, I selected this book as a desire to understand their love language and how I was communicating my love to them. This book is an easy read and an excellent help to parents. As you learn the 5 love languages you can adapt to each child as necessary. Which is very important if you want to communicate your love in the language that they understand best. I learned that there are no cookie-cutter-molds for love; one 'love shoe' does NOT fit all sizes! A must read for any parent or caretaker of children. I gained a wealth of knowledge from this book."
"I liked it. It's great food for thought that could be useful to any parent. The premise is that each one of us feels love in five different ways (physical touch, verbal affirmation, quality times, gifts, and acts of service) and that one of those ways is more prominent than another. This book challenges you to use every way to help your child feel loved and then helps you dicipher which one is your child's "primary language". I thought I knew my two oldest kids' languages, but don't think one of them is right now that I've read it. Suprisingly I found myself learning more about the one I thought I knew most (ie: physical touch can provide love with high-fives and a quick tickle game, as well as with the expected snuggles and hugs) I hope I read this book every couple of years. I think it could bring much more insight to my own ability to "fill my kids' emotional tanks". I enjoyed that way of thinking immensely."
"This book argues that all people feel love in five basic ways, but we each have a primary love language. The best way to make your children feel loved, then, is to figure out what their primary love language is, and give them lots of that, plus regular doses of the other kinds. Obviously this applies to spouses, parents, and anyone else you love too, but this book is mainly about the parent/child relationship. I may decide this book deserves 4 stars after I've had some more time to think about it and try its ideas out. It was really interesting, but also sometimes frustrating. Nick's primary love language is quality time, which I already knew, but it was admittedly nice to see it spelled out here, with suggestions for how to give him what he needs. On the other hand, I would have liked some more specifics on how to make him feel loved without making me feel overwhelmed by his constant presence, but I guess that's something I need to think out consciously myself."
