Are your parents speaking your language? Take the quiz and tally your totals for each letter. We will discuss what the results mean when the class is finished.
5 Love Languages • What is a Love Language? We learn how love and affection are communicated from our parents or other significant adult. There are 5 “Languages” we learn with one or two being stronger than the others. We are most perceptive of loving acts that are presented in our own “Language”. • Gary Chapman
Words of Affirmation • Spoken or written praise and affection both private and public. Examples: • Congratulations for passing a test or winning a game. • Notes of encouragement in a backpack
Physical Touch • Physical contact such a high fives, hugging, back rubs, playful rough housing, hand holding, and kissing. Examples: • Huggers vs. Non-huggers • Giving a fuzzy, warm sweater or socks.
Quality Time • Giving of your time and attention in a way the other person/ child enjoys. Examples: • Playing a game the child chooses • Including child’s choices in vacation plans
Acts of Service • Giving a service freely for the benefit of the other person/ child. (Must not be manipulative) Examples: • Cooking a favorite meal or snack • Helping with chores or homework • Setting up dance, karate, or piano lessons
Gifts • Giving of gifts that are bought or homemade. (Again, must not be manipulative) Examples: • Picking up a favorite snack from the store. • Giving clothes, toys, sports gear, etc. • Giving a handmade artwork from school
What this means… You now know more about yourself and how you relate to the important people in your life. You can… • Tell others what you want/ need. • Communicate with parents or significant others. • Learn the languages of others.
