The benefits of living in today's global society are great. But so are the dangers. Across the nation, pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, abortions, drug usage, homicide, and suicide have all become commonplace among teens. Yet despite these facts, moms and dads continue to have a dramatic impact on their children. Research shows that parents -- not peers -- exert the most significant influence in the life of a teen.
And the door to that influence is love. The key to opening that door, according to Gary Chapman, Ph. You can more effectively meet your adolescent's need for love -- and thus, better support your child in every area of life -- by gaining a better understanding of The Five Love Languages of Teenagers.
Examples are given from his counseling practice, as well as questions to help determine one's own love languages. Chapman's book claims that the list of five love languages is exhaustive. Chapman suggests that to discover another person's love language, one must observe the way they express love to others, and analyze what they complain about most often and what they request from their significant other most often.
He theorizes that people tend to naturally give love in the way that they prefer to receive love, and better communication between couples can be accomplished when one can demonstrate caring to the other person in the love language the recipient understands. An example would be if a husband's love language is acts of service, he may be confused when he does the laundry for his wife and she doesn't perceive that as an act of love, viewing it as simply performing household duties, because the love language she comprehends is words of affirmation verbal affirmation that he loves her.
She may try to use what she values, words of affirmation, to express her love to him, which he would not value as much as she does. If she understands his love language and mows the lawn for him, he perceives it in his love language as an act of expressing her love for him; likewise, if he tells her he loves her, she values that as an act of love. There has been a lack of research to test the validity of Chapman's model and whether it can be generalized.
Egbert suggests that the Five Love Languages might have some degree of psychometric validity despite its abstract nature. The book sold 8, copies in its first year, four times what the publisher expected. Some of the techniques listed in The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts may require a sound knowledge of Hypnosis, users are advised to either leave those sections or must have a basic understanding of the subject before practicing them.
