Different kids crave different kinds of attention and affection. We’ll help you figure out your little one’s “love language” so they can feel truly adored.
Five Languages of Love
A person’s “love language” is their way of expressing and receiving love. There are five different love languages
- Quality time
- Words of affirmation
- Physical touch
- Acts of service
- Receiving gifts
1. Physical Touch
Though a hug might say “I love you” to all kids, for ones who adore physical touch, it shouts, “I LOVE YOU!”
2. Receiving Gifts
Children who feel loved when they receive things aren’t just pandering for more stuff. Instead, they are actively seeking ways to feel loved by you.
3. Words of Affirmation
For kids who listen intently and speak sweetly, your loving words matter most.
4. Acts of Service
Acts of service may be the most peculiar-sounding love language, but kids who speak it appreciate thoughtful gestures, like buying flavored seltzer and making a mocktail complete with a mini umbrella and a pineapple slice
5. Quality Time
These children feel most valued when you choose to spend quality time with them.
