The expression "love language" may seem unfamiliar and foreign. It speaks of the characteristic nature which every human,adult or infant, exhibits in receiving and giving.
With deep desire to love and be loved, we all walk this earth. While many grow to the stage where they never find love, many struggle and suffer, right from birth, in the hands of cruel ignorance, till understanding shines and enlightenment grows.
Gary Campbell And Rose Chapman in "The Five Love Languages" teach that understanding the love language of a person brings out the person's best: emotionally, academically, socially, physiological and psychologically . It is with this knowledge that both authors state that parents and spouses ought to understand the love language of their children and partner to bring out the best in them.
Children, while they grow through their teen years into adolescence, when their "love tank" is full, turn out as responsible, caring, smiling and generally healthy individuals. In contrast, empty love tanks make children lag behind, put up attitudes and above all breed angry, selfish individuals to the society.
"Without love, a child will starve emotionally and can become impaired for life." - Campbell and Chapman
"No child can receive too much appropriate unconditional love.'' - Campbell and Chapman
"Meeting a child’s need for love is not as simple as it may sound, and that’s especially true when adolescence begins. The dangers of adolescence are threatening enough in themselves, but a child entering this time with an empty emotional tank is particularly vulnerable to the problems of the teenage years." - Campbell and Chapman
Each child has his primary love language. Speak it to your child and to your partner with a dose of other love languages and experience love unbounded.
Is your child defiant? Is your sibling resistant or rebellious to authority? Is your neighbour or your partner always trying to get you on your bad side? Maybe it's because you're not speaking their love language. Check it! You've probably cut back on the outings, the gifting and spending time together. Or you might not have started it at all! Discover which love languages - "Gifts, Acts Of Service, Quality time, Physical Touch and Words of Affirmation" speaks volume to them and unveil a new person in them.
