Monica Hinderer joins Doug discussing how to identify and use your child’s primary love language to raise a great person. They discuss the 5 love languages: words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, acts of service, and gifts.

Doug shares how children who feel safe and secure are less likely to develop depression and it makes them more likely to develop good relationships when they are adults. Knowing their love language help foster this safety and security.

 

Listener questions and comments:

• Gabriel – My 6-year-old child had leukemia, but it is now in remission. I don't know his love language. I'm separated from his mother. She's more dry, and I'm more loving. I don’t know how to punish him.
• Marie – The way my parents punished me as a child brought me a lot of shame, but I realized that Jesus was also treated bad and that helped me.
• Joleen – When my children were older, I struggled to discipline them so I would ask them what their punishment should be. Whatever they said was way more than what I would have them do.
