Book Reviews of The Five Love Languages of Children
Book Review: WoW...Our family has changed!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't speak of the emotion that fills my heart when thinking of this book. It is saving my family! My husband and I now know how to satisfy our children in the most basic of ways...Love!! And I will tell you a secret: They do their chores now with no complaints!! Their "love tanks" are full, and they are happier than I have ever seen them! I think it should be handed out to every parent at the arrival of their new baby.I also have "The Five Love Languages" and it is just as worthy! This book should be a MUST for every married/dating couple in the world! Actually, I think maybe it should be handed out at birth! LOL It saved my marriage! I kid you not! Our whole family has been reborn because of these books.
I have shared the "love language" books with many people, married, dating, and parents alike, and hope that you choose it too! Your life will be changed for the better. Guaranteed!!

The Five Love Languages of Children is practical, informative, touching, and best of all backed with sound Christian perspectives you can trust. If you have difficulty understanding your children love communication you're trying to accomplish, you'll love this book! Gary Chapman will take you through his explanations of the way how you can express your love that can be understood by your children in a fun and inspiring way. Guaranteed to improve your love language if you use even ONE of the tips he gives!Get and use it, for your children are desperately expecting the blessing of your spoken words.
Another good book, I highly recommend to all parents who desire to see their children have a blessed life and a heart toward God's Word is "365 Prophetic Promises and Blessings for your Children". Get and use it, for your children are desperately expecting the blessing of your spoken words..
Book Review: Good for all parent.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this books just before my third child was due to arrive. I was worried about my second child getting lost in the middle. I want to build upon my parenting tools and have a slew of ideas to help me help him. I wanted to know him better and know the "key" things that would express my love to him with the most efficiency. I knew I would not have the same amount of time as before, and wanted to "score the most points" with my children so they would feel fully loved and appreciated, even when I was preocupied with a newborn. This book gave me wonderful tools that have helped me as a busy mom. I learned things that help me understand my children better and help me really show my love to them in the ways they feel loved the most. This book is great for all relationships, and parents looking to learn as many helpful skills as possible will surely appreciate this book.Book Review: Unbearably banal
Summary: 1 Stars
I have difficulty imagining a parent reading this book and exclaiming, "Of course!" <smacks forehead> "I'm supposed to *hug* my child!" I'm going to do you an enormous favor and list the five 'Love Languages' discussed in this book.
1) Touch your child (hugs, etc...)
2) Talk to your child (words of encouragement)
3) Spend time with your child
4) Encourage giving
5) Encourage receiving
That's it! Somehow, the authors (amazingly, it took two) managed to fluff this into an entire book. As you'd expect, it is devoid of content - just inane observations any decent parent should understand instinctively. There is no hard research, no references to studies or books, well... except Bible quotations.
This is cheap, sickly-sweet, pseudo-therapy for empty minds. Skip the book and spend time with your kids.
Book Review: Hope for rekindling love between parent and child.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an LPC with specialization in play therapy. I work with wounded families daily. I have just completed reading this text and believe it to be exceptionaly valuable in helping parents build and rebuild damaged parent/child relationships. I am purchasing multiple copies to provide to my families. This book will help them in many ways that I am unable to due to time constraints. My only concern is that the text is more directed to a middle/upper class population. Some suggestions of activities require money (i.e. "take a child out to breakfast" - some of my families are lucky if they have breakfast.) that most of my families do not have. Over all, I believe that, if taken seriously, families who make an effort to follow its message, will heal wounds that will affect generations of their family to come.
