Free Kindle The Five Love Languages Of Teenagers ebooks Download
Who is your teenager listening to? Teenagers today are bombarded by messages from their peers, the Internet, music, movies . . . the list goes on. As parents, you may wonder if your words mean anything at all. If so, take heart: all research indicates that the most significant influence on the life of a teenager comes from his or her parents. Yes—parents! In this updated volume, marriage and family expert Dr. Gary Chapman lays out the tools you need to communicate with your teenager. As Dr. Chapman states, “At the root of much teenage misbehavior is a teen’s empty love tank. I am not suggesting that parents do not love their teenagers; I am suggesting that thousands of teenagers do not feel that love. For most parents, it is not a matter of sincerity but rather lack of information on how to communicate love effectively on an emotional level.” Starting with the world in which your teenager lives, Dr. Chapman walks through the emotional needs of teenagers and how you can best express your love to them. You’ll learn how to identify your teenager’s love language, how to address their unique need for independence and responsibility, how to combat anger and set up boundaries, and how to best parent your teenager if you are a single parent or a blended family.

Where was this book when we were raising two teenagers? The fact that we did so well is a testimony to dumb luck and two very understanding and flexible youngsters. This is an invaluable book for any parent about to begin the teenage years with their children. Using the same basic framework (five love languages - acts of service, gifts, quality time, physical touch, and words of affirmation), Chapman directs his comments to the needs of parents. His approach to establishing family "rules" is exceptional. Read in conjunction with another of his books - Five Signs of a Functional Family, you cannot go wrong. After reading this later book, I ran right out and purchased a copy for my son and his wife. When their daughter becomes a teenager, I will present them with a copy of this book. No caring parent can go wrong with this book. Buy a copy now!
As I have two older teens, this book helped me a lot with them, and it helped them a lot with themselves and each other.Our family is working hard at being aware of each others feelings, and as a father, I'm committed to raising the best teens possible into adults that are a positive example.The information given in this book is extremely helpful, and it also goes along with another book that has made a tremendous difference in the life of my teens calledStop Being the String Along.Each book brought my family and my teens information that has significantly altered their views, and behaviors into positive ones.If you have teens, or work with teens, I feel that both books would be excellent required reading. They have made a world of difference.
I have been in the youth ministry for 8 years now and this is one of the best books that I have ever read for those who have teenagers. I have bought over 25 copies of this book and have given them to every parent who's child graduates up to youth. Many parents have found what Chapman says as invaluable information. We now even do a special discipleship class based around the material in this book. I highly recommend it to any parent who has a teenager...it will change the way you view your student and the way you treat them. If you want to build a better relationship with your student...I would read this book, and then put it to practice.
I will give you a short background so you will know where I am coming from. My husband and I have been married eleven years and have tried to conceive a child for about nine of those years with no success. Well, since July 2003 we have adopted four children. They all are teenagers. I bought this book with the hopes of understanding each of my teenagers love languages. It is hard to figure out their love languages especially since we did not have to opportunity to have them when they were younger.This book was very helpful.I really enjoyed this book.The way this book was written made it easy to understand and I have already tried some of the suggestions from the book and they have worked. Thanks so much.
Soon after reading Chapman's best-selling "The Five Love Languages," I knew I had to get this book for teenagers. If the original book could give me so much valuable insight into loving my wife, this title could certainly help me with my teen. I was not disappointed.Chapman here not only covers the five love languages as they relate to teenagers, but also offers help for the challenges that many teens and their parents face. Dealing with anger, failure, and blended families are among the issues that the author addresses.This book is excellent reading material for any parent of a teen, or a church worker who interacts with teens. Buy it and see -- I'm confident you won't be sorry.
This is a fine book that is both realistic and practical. Chapman understands teenagers and offers advice as though it were given by Solomon.Chapman is balanced and Biblical. He shows an understanding of individuality and human nature. As a pastor of 20 years, I recommend this book to anyone who has teenagers.
This book changed my point of view about relationships and gave me ideas, for improving relationships and life that I have never heard from any other source. It is fresh, insightful, and deeply helpful.I shared some of the things I learned from this book with my parents and they have bought copies for many people who have come to them for counseling.If you need help understanding your mate, or a new lease on your relationship, this book will definately help.Gary Chapman spells out 5 different styles that people love or relate to love as love languages and shares how to identify and share love to people in the language that they can understand.I consider this an earth shaking book!!!!
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).
