10060: The Five Love Languages of Children

About the Course:

This course is recommended for health care professionals, especially psychologists, counselors, social workers, and nurses who provide services to or seek knowledge on assisting parents to express love to their children and understand their developmental needs. Whether unfamiliar or familiar with some of the concepts involved in this material, you can benefit from information in this course. According to the authors, each child expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. A parent’s love language may be totally different from that of his or her child, which causes hurt feelings and misunderstandings. With the help of these tapes, adults can discover their child’s primary language and learn what they can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in their child’s emotions and behavior.
