Growing Kids Gods Way 3

Touch points of Love Chapter 3 This chapter talked alot about all of different love languages: Words of encouragement: to express love by words of legitimate praise and recognition. Acts of Service: Doing something special for another person that you know he or she is going to appreciate (hint hint...unexpectedly is nice Brian) Gift Giving: a gift of value to them not necessarily something of value to you Quality time: invest yourself in undivided attention to someone else Physical touch: physical touch and closeness (duh most men) I encourage you to learn yours and your love ones love language.... Your primary love language is how you show love and how you feel most loved when it is spoken to you. We all need to learn to speak it the way that is primary for the one receiving it. Think how discouraging it is to say "I love you" only to have it rejected time and time again. To learn your childs love language you can give them a child friendly quiz found at www.growingkids.org They say kids under 7 haven't found their primary love language. We tested Budd prior to taking the test he asked if we wanted him to answer like he really thought or in a godly (non selfish way) he tested high in gift-giving when we told him he questioned the "giving" part??? Ha! Your family is so important. It should be a haven and the center from which love flows!
