An Emotionally Healthy Child

One of the most important goals in parenting is to make sure that our children grow up feeling loved.

If your children are secure in your love they will be far more responsive to your teaching and training.  Fundamentally, there are five ways to express love to children. I call them the five love languages. They are: words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and physical touch.

Each child has a primary love language. One of these speaks more deeply than the other four. Ideally, as parents we want to give the child heavy doses of their primary love language and then sprinkle in the other four. We want them to learn how to give and receive love in all five languages. This produces an emotionally healthy child.
