This Saturday there was an interesting and important training topic for parents with children — the 5 love languages.

The concept of the “5 love languages” belongs to Gary Chapman — the author of the book The 5 Love Languages. It explains how people express and perceive love differently. Here are the 5 love languages: 1. Words of affirmation (compliments, gratitude, praise); 2. Quality time (meaningful time together); 3. Gifts (symbols of attention); 4. Acts of service; 5. Physical touch (hugs, kisses, touch).

Participants took a test where they learned about their 2 dominant love languages. By understanding your own and your child’s “love language,” you can very practically influence daily relationships. And this is not just theory, but a real way to reduce misunderstandings and help a child become emotionally confident.

This is a tool that helps a child truly feel parental love; the number of conflicts and offenses decreases; there is better understanding of children’s behavior; it builds trust for the future; parents become calmer; the child learns healthy relationships.

It can be said that by knowing your child’s love language — you “speak directly to the heart,” not “past it.”
