The Five Love Languages Of Children - Gary Smalley

Do you ever wonder why each child in your home or under your care is so different in their responses to your efforts to chow them love and care?  Perhaps each speaks their own language.  A wise caregiver is aware and attentive to these languages.  The book "The 5 Love Languages of Children" is very helpful in understanding the ways in which our children receive love the most powerfully.  There is an online test that can be done which helps a caregiver identify this language.  Once the "code" has been broken to access your child's heart, a caregiver can set themselves on a mission to meet the needs of their child.  I have used this in counselling to help children understand themselves better and gain personal insight as they are able to.  Worth a read, the original is also quite helpful geared more around adults.
