Discover Your Child’s Love Language: Unlocking Deeper Connections
This week, we’re excited to explore Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages of Children. This insightful book offers a powerful tool for deepening our connections with our children by understanding how they give and receive love.
Book Highlight: The Five Love Languages of Children
Chapman introduces five love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, gifts, and physical touch. By identifying your child’s primary love language, you can tailor your expressions of love to resonate more deeply with them, strengthening your bond and improving communication.
Talk About This One Thing:
“When do you feel most loved and appreciated?”
Continue the Conversation:
- Explore Together: Read the book as a family and take the love language quiz together. Make it a fun adventure to discover each family member’s love language.
- Apply the Lessons: Practice speaking each love language throughout the week. Observe how your child responds to different approaches and note which seems to resonate most.
- Scripture Focus: Use 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 to discuss how we can embody these qualities of love in our daily interactions with each other.
Memory Verse: 1 John 4:19 “We love because he first loved us.”
We hope The Five Love Languages of Children enriches your family relationships and inspires meaningful conversations about love and connection. Let’s embrace this opportunity to nurture our children’s emotional and spiritual well-being.

Celebrate Grandparents!
This past Sunday, September 8th, was National Grandparents Day! If you didn’t get the chance to celebrate, it’s not too late. Take some time this week to reach out to your child’s grandparents. A call, a special note, or even a little homemade gift can go a long way in making them feel loved and appreciated. ❤️
Back to School & Bully Prevention
As our kids settle back into school, let’s make sure they feel safe and supported. Bullying can be a tough topic, but it’s important to ask the right questions and open up a dialogue with our children. A great resource to guide those conversations is Bullyproof Your Child for Life: Protect Your Child from Teasing, Taunting, and Bullying for Good. This book provides practical advice for parents and helps equip your child to handle difficult situations confidently and with kindness.
Let’s continue to support and nurture our children as they grow both academically and emotionally! 🌟
