"The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers By Gary Chapman.Gary Chapman
first wrote the book "Five Love Languages". Since then the books
have been customised for different markets including Men, Children,
Teenagers, Singles and Military.This version follows a similar
format that outlines the five Love Languages: Physical Touch, Words
of Affirmation, Quality Time, Gifts, and Acts of Service. This is
followed by chapters on how to discover your teenager's primary
love language, and how the Love languages affect their love,
responsibility development, independence, and dealing with
failure.There is a section of Speaking your teenager's love
language and applying them in a single parent family, and blended
families.The book is an excellent practical resource for parents to
understand their teenager, how they feel, and how to express love
to a teenager in a way that has meaning to them. This unconditional
love boosts a teenager's emotional needs and therefore their
self-esteem.There are lots of practical suggestions and ideas for
each of the love languages.A book that should be read regularly by
every parent."Reviewed by Heath Henwood on NetGalley, Apr 19,

"Urgh. Teenagers sure are difficult. Although I am not a mom of
teens yet, I'm already anticipating the beatific angels
transforming into acne-pocked, oily monsters full of angst and
contempt for "the man"...meaning me. I was absolutely thrilled when
I found that Gary Chapman had created a sequel of sorts to the 5
Love Languages. The principle of love languages was the same; there
are 5 languages that people respond to and feel loved by: Words of
Affirmation, Acts of Service, Gifts, Physical Touch, and Quality
Time. However, this book helps parents to navigate the waters of
troubled teenagers and how to make them feel loved...without maybe
feeling suffocated by mom and dad's love."Reviewed by Andra Lynn on

"When dealing with teenagers it's really sort of like finding your
way through a maze. Every child is different and has different
emotional and physical needs. After reading this book, I was really
able to start to sense what my children need. By employing the use
of the love language it really makes your child know that you
understand and love them. It eases situations that could escalate
especially when a child is upset. The way I parent with teenagers
is really different from when they were little and I think by using
these love languages in your arsenal of parenting is truly
helpful."Reviewed by Eva Rosol on NetGalley, Apr 28, 2016
