Children express and experience love in different ways. Some children
prefer physical touch, whereas other children need words of affirmation.
The purpose of learning to speak your child’s love language is for you to
connect more deeply with your child. This can build their self-worth,
which is key for lifelong self-love and confidence and applies to all ages
and stages of development, too.

Speak Your Child’s Love Language For children who have physical touch as their primary love language, physical touch communicates love to them more deeply than giving them praise by:
Adding a pat on the back, holding hands, a high-five, or an arm around their shoulder.
Occasionally yelling “group hug” for your entire family, and for more fun, include your pets!
Gently squeezing their hands to say “I love you!”
Snuggling close on the couch and reading together.
Words are powerful in communicating love. Words of affection and endearment, words of praise and encouragement, and words that give positive guidance all say, “I care about you.” The phrases and actions below say “I love you” many times a day:
Saying “I love to watch you…” (play, draw, sing, help, etc.)
Affirming both their efforts and achievement.
Nurturing a child’s inner sense of worth and security.
PARENT PAGE
Quality Time with Your Child Quality time means focusing your attention on your child.
It is the gift of being present and tells a child, “you are
important, and I like spending time with you.” The child feels
loved because the parent or care giver is choosing to spend
time alone with them. Here are ideas of ways to spend quality
time with your child:
Allocating a special time for your child to just be there and listen to their stories and feelings.
Stopping what you are doing and making eye contact with your child when they tell you something.
Finding silly things to laugh about together.
From the District Office:
