As your kids grow, how they want to receive love and affection changes and if you don't change along with them you risk the chance of damaging your relationship with them. This book will help you develop a more meaningful, adult relationship that will bring more joy to both of you. Buy it, read it and pass it around.

EXCELLENT--MUST READ BOOK FOR PARENTS OF TEENS!

2007-01-10

The Five Love Languages of Teenagers contains very practical guidance on how to express the teen's primary love language, how to teach them appropriate responsibility, and how to properly handle both parental and teen anger. It is a tangible resource for stemming the tide of violence, immorality, and despair engulfing many teens today.

Review of the Five Love Languages of Teenagers

2007-01-09
I felt really stupid after I bought this book because it isn't for teens; it is for adults who have teenagers and how to love them. My mother read some and enjoyed, but since I am not a parent I didn't read all of it.

Excellent Book for Parents of Teens & Pre-teens

2006-08-13
Great hands-on advice for learning how to love your pre-teen and teenager. I wish now that I had this book when my first daughter was a teen.

Excellent Christian resource on parenting teens

The Five Love Languages for Teenagers by Gary Chapman is a book every parent needs to own. I'll admit, I went looking for a quick fix with this book. The other Love Languages books have a quiz in the back to help you identify your language, and that's right where I went with this book: to the back. I was disappointed to find no quiz in this book, but Chapman explains that teenagers would be quick to figure out how to manipulate the system if they knew that we were trying to figure them out. The book discusses the five love languages as broken down in Chapman's other books in this series, but directs them specifically at how teenagers are affected by them. I learned so much from this book about how to talk to my kids and that both of my teens are quality time people. During the course of reading this book, I've seen a change in my daughter already. She's spent more time talking to me, because I've spent more time listening to her. This is a book I will purchase for my own bookshelf and continue the practices in it for the next 17 years (until my three-year-old turns 20).

"Must reading for any parent or teacher of teenagers"

2005-12-31

As a teacher, I can appreciate what this author is attempting to do, and congratulate him on succeeding in the same. This is a wonderful book!

Having worked with teenagers for over twenty years, I can say that understanding the teen begins with understanding their language; not what they say--but what they mean and understand. The author has done his research here.

The chapters on the use of time, and the use of praise, alone are worth the cost of this book. We are reminded that our teens are not different people than they were as children, but merely older children whose needs evolve rather than change.

Rather than summarize the book (which many others have done), let me just encourage the parents and teachers of every teenager to read this book and take the suggestions to heart. The author comes from a Christian perspective, which made me appreciate his findings all the more.

For Christian parents who want to delve more into helping their teenagers understand the bible rather than trying to understand their teenager, may I suggest "Dragons, Grasshoppers & Frogs!", a youth-oriented commentary on Revelation.

Again, Chapman's book should be required reading for every teacher, parent, and youth minister of teenagers. I only wish my mentors had sought to understand me in this way those many years ago.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
