Speak Their Language

There's a great book out called the "Five Love Languages". It touts that if you can figure out your child's (husbands, co-workers, mother in laws) love language you can change the world!
I read the book years ago and have even gone to a conference featuring the author. I must say I think I agree!

The languages are...
1. Quality time
2. Gifts
3. Words of affirmation
4. Acts of service
5. Physical touch.

This has merit!!
I believe it you take some time to actively watch and experiment with your child (etc) you can make significant headway in your bonding and relationship building.

Here's a hint: We "tend" to speak our own love language. If you love to recieve gifts you very likely love to give them. This is not fool proof but does show a tendancy to prove itself out. You may have 1 or 2 "languages" that follow closely together.

Try it out.... Do some research.... Hey! Read the Book! It's facinating and can only help the quality of the family.

Have fun!
