About this title: According to the authors, each child expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. A parent's love language may be totally different from that of his or her child, which causes hurt feelings and misunderstandings. With the help of this book, adults can discover their child's primary language and learn what they can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in their child's emotions and behavior.

"I am a blue, type - A, ESTJ, who likes to be shown love through quality time, and likes long walks on the beach and....WAIT, no I'm not. I'm Karen, a girl with lots of personality quirks, one of which is that I dislike pop psychology books that tell me I and everyone else fits into one of their created, ficticious descriptions. I have to admit, I didn't even finish this book (I did read almost all of it though). Probably most of us are familiar with the five love languages, they have enjoyed being very discussed pop psychology for the past 10 years. This book applies those same love languages to children. My issue is not with this book specifically, but with the idea in general. All this labeling, catagorizing, pigeon-holing, and simplifing people, into tidy little groups. I know we all have similarities, but if you really want to love someone, get to know them. It takes time and effort, but that would be a better use of your time than reading this book."
"I am glad that I read this book, because I needed to be reminded that my kids need a certain kind of love at different times. I really appreciated the chapter about anger. I haven't been too good lately at expressing my anger in a positive manner. I needed the kick in the butt about my behavior toward my children. Of course I don't agree with everything written in the book, but for the most part I am an advocate of showing love in these 5 ways. Though I don't think you have narrow it down to one love language, but rather show all 5 enough to raise a loved, happy child."
"I took a class that used this book and at the time, thought it was fabulous and brilliant and insightful. My kids were really young and I couldn't wait for them to be old enough to try this all out on them.
I just went back and re-read it, and this time found it interesting and somewhat helpful but lacking in concrete ways to determine love languages in children. It would have helped to have more examples of the "either/or" questions, for example. I was reading it specifically for help with one child, and having finished the book I am not sure I have much more insight on her than I did before reading it. The other two kids were more easily "pegged" into this book. But if the book doesn't help with the more "difficult" case, then what is it for?
Like Dr. Sears or any of the myriad experts on young children, this book essentially promises that if you follow its approach, you WILL be a fabulous parent and have well-adjusted, happy children who grow into productive adults. Well, that's all well and good if your children happen to have read this book and decided to follow along.
Anyway, I still the general theory is a good one and it has helped me over time when I've had trouble connecting with people and couldn't understand why. Like anything else of this genre, in the end I found some useful nuggets but also some flaws."
"Aware that each one of my sons were 3 indiviual people, with their own unique makeup, I selected this book as a desire to understand their love language and how I was communicating my love to them. This book is an easy read and an excellent help to parents. As you learn the 5 love languages you can adapt to each child as necessary. Which is very important if you want to communicate your love in the language that they understand best. I learned that there are no cookie-cutter-molds for love; one 'love shoe' does NOT fit all sizes! A must read for any parent or caretaker of children. I gained a wealth of knowledge from this book."
