The Five Love Languages of Children

... Show More
Does your child speak a different language? Sometimes they wager for your attention, and other times they ignore you completely. Sometimes they are filled with gratitude and affection, and other times they seem totally indifferent. Attitude. Behavior. Development. Everything depends on the love relationship between you and your child. When children feel loved, they do their best. But how can you make sure your child feels loved?

Since 1992, Dr. Gary Chapman's best-selling book The Five Love Languages has helped more than 300,000 couples develop stronger, more fulfilling relationships by teaching them to speak each others love language. Each child, too, expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. And your love language may be totally different from that of your child. While you are doing all you can to show your child love, he may be hearing it as something completely opposite.

Discover your child's primary language and learn what you can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in your child's emotions and behavior.

لقد شاركت عدة مقتطفات من كتاب مع اصدقائي من شدة إعجاب به.لن أتحدث عن مفهوم لغات الحب الخمسة التي طرحها .لانني قرأت كتابه فكنت متوقعة .
الذي أعجبني في هذا الكتاب هي الفصول الاخيرة المتعلقة ب
التأديب و العقاب
الحب و الغضب
السلوك العدواني و العصيان
كيف تتعامل مع الالام الفقد لدى الاطفال و العيش في بيت ذات والد واحد.
هذه أسئلة اتعرض لها برشا في محيط العمل أو في محيط أسري بالاعتبار أنني إخصائية في رعاية الصحية للأطفال كنت اقدم اجوبة الحمد الله كانت صائبة .مستعينة بالدراسة و بما قرأت
لكن هذا الكتاب جعلتني انتبه لجزئية املأ الخزان بالحب ثم تعال و نحدث عن سلوك طفل سئ أو تاديب طفل.
و جزئية تعامل مع غضب الأطفال

أرشج لكل شخص مهتم بتربية عسى أن نكون أكثر وعيًا

I love these books. Something so simple but so true. I had my nine year old take the test and discovered I wasn't meeting his true language, quality time!! These books really open your eyes to how you give love and how others like to receive love.

I did find this book helpful in some ways, and frustrating in others. While it was beneficial to learn the different ways a child feels loved and the authors did offer some approaches to behavioral issues that have already been beneficial, I just don't think that knowing a child's love language and "filling their love tank" will solve ALL of a child's behavioral problems as the book suggests. I felt the authors put too much responsibility on the parent for a child's behavior. While I definitely feel as a parent I do have a lot of power and influence on my child, ultimately how he/she acts is not entirely up to me or within my control and the child makes the final decision as to how he/she behaves. It was helpful to add this info to my parenting arsenal, I just don't think life is as tidy as the book suggests.

While I enjoyed the original Five Love Languages book when I read it several years ago, by the time I got to chapter 9 in this one, I had to stop reading it.

Firstly, the anecdotes and quotes from children in this book frequently sound fake. Particularly the quotes, where I repeatedly found myself thinking, "Most kids that age don't speak like this..."

Secondly, the level of sexism veering into misogyny and shaming that is leveled towards parents in this book is unacceptable to me. I'm not even in (some of) the groups this is directed at and it was still insulting. I can't imagine how some of my friends who do fall into those groups would feel at being told that because they didn't stay in an abusive marriage their children's emotional health and learning would be harmed *potentially irreparably.* That's a shameful thing to say in a book that is supposed to be intended to help parents.

Finally, the author doesn't even get very basic behavioral concepts correct in the behavior modification/discipline chapter. I've worked in the behavior field with children for over a decade and have a master's degree in the subject. The definitions of positive/negative reinforcement and discipline are extremely basic concepts in my field and I know them well. And the definitions and examples in this book, particularly for negative reinforcement and positive punishment, are quite simply entirely incorrect. If these authors were unable to get these very basic behavioral concepts correct, then quite frankly they had no business publishing a book on the topic.

I was all set to give this book at least 4 stars until the last 6 minutes of the audiobook when the co-author, Ross Campbell, called his own daughter “profoundly r*t*rded.” Seriously? Now, I know this book was originally published in 1997, but the audiobook I listened to was published in 2016. You’re telling me that in 19 years, you couldn’t have gone back and changed 1 word? I know Campbell died 4 years before this audio was published, but he was also a child psychiatrist and still used that word? The other author is still alive and you’d think between him and the publishing company, someone would’ve had the sense to edit.

مراجعة كتاب لغات الحب الخمس التي يستخدمها الأطفال

جاري تشابمان

روس كامبل

وصلتني رسالة على بريدي الإلكتروني من الأخ خليل لمكتبة القراء البحرينيين، شدني عنوان الكتاب وعلى الرغم من أنني لست قارئة إلكترونية أن صح التعبير إلا أنني بدأت في قراءة الكتاب، كلمة شدتني لنهاية السطر وما أنهيه السطر حتى يأخذني السطر الآخر بقوة.

لطالما أمنت بأن الحب هو نبض العلاقات هو روح العلاقات المؤسسة لحياة سعيدة، ولأسباب كثيرة نعلمها أحيانًا ونجهلها أحيانا كثيرة لا نوفق لتلك السعادة في بعض الفترات.

أتحدث الآن من قلب أم وقفت كثيرًا متسائلة عن الكيفية التي تمكنها من الوصول إلى قلب أحد أبنائها، متسائلة عن سبب غضبهم في اغلب الأوقات؟ وكيف بإمكانهم التنفيس عن غضبهم دون أن يؤذوا المحيطين!؟ كيف بإمكاني مساعدتهم وجعلهم قريبين !!؟ ما هي أسباب كل ذلك !؟

أجابني الكتاب عبر فصول قائلًا : عزيزتي أنكِ لا تتحدثين لغة الحب الخاصة بطفلك، فَّفَّرغ خزان الحب لديه فتمرد في سلوكه ليلفت نظرك، أنه يحتاج لملأ ذلك الخزان من جديد بالحب ليستطيع أن يواصل الحياة فبدونه الحب هو ضعيف من الداخل.

- أحبهم جميعًا وأحاول جاهدة أن أكون منصفة في تعاملي!!.

- نعم ولكن تتحدثين لغة حب واحدة قد لا يفهمها جميعهم فهناك يا عزيزتي خمس لغات للحب

-خمس لغات للحب ، وما هي!؟

1- التلامس الجسدي.

2- كلمات التوكيد.

3- الهدايا.

4- أعمال الخدمة.

5- الوقت النوعي.

فابحثي بين صفحاتي كيف يمكنك أن تتعلمي التحدث بتلك اللغات جميعًا وكيف تكتشفي لغة الحب الخاصة بأبنائك فكل إنسان يحتاج الخمس لغات ولكن هناك لغة واحدة ما تشعره أن محبوب.

تلك اللغات مكتوبة بكلمات بسيطة لأفكار متسلسلة تأخدك تدريجيًا لإستيعاب الفكرة والجميل هو أرشادك إلى مراجع أخرى في حال الرغبة في الاستزادة، النماذج للحالات الحقيقية التي مرت على الكاتب بحكم وظيفته كدكتور نفسي دعمت الافكار بشكل جدًا قوي.

أنصح كل أم وأب وزوج وزوجة يتطلعون إلى حياة أكثر راحة بقراءة الكتاب.


** لا انسى ان اتقدم بالشكر للجهود المبذولة في المكتبة الإلكترونية لتحدي القراء البحرينيين.

Decent premise but overall too wordy and tries to make the point with dumbed down examples. If you’ve read the first book regarding love languages and couples, it’s not that hard to apply to children and I wish there was a “high points” version that cut to the chase. 2.5

I clearly need a different star system to differentiate better between 2 and 4, where the vast majority of my books sit.

3.5 stars. Informative and a quick read.

The original Five Love Languages is still my favorite version, but I wanted one that would help me identity the love languages of my children so I can more effectively express my love to them.

It’s much more difficult to pinpoint a child’s love language, but this book gives some ideas on how to do so. If you’ve read the original version already, as I have, there is repetition as to what the 5 love languages are.

There is a chapter focused on how parents can help children impacted by divorce or in single parent families.

There is a section on helping children appropriately process anger, and this was the most beneficial chapter, in my opinion.
