If the gas tank on your car was low you wouldn’t hesitate to get gas, right?  Well did you know your children have what’s called a love tank?  Just like you needing to fill your gas tank for your car to run you need to fill the love tank of your child.  Children just like adults need to feel loved.  They need to know they are loved.  There are many ways to do this.  You help to build your child up and make them feel like they are worthy of something.  Physical touch, quality time, a small meaningful gift, words of affirmation, and acts of service are the 5 love languages.  Every child is different so what works for one may not work for another.  What love language is your child?
