The concept of the five love languages is probably not new to you. The idea is that we all give and receive love differently-and those different ways tend to fall into five different categories. Where we get tripped up and disconnected, particularly from a romantic partner, is when we give love through our language but they receive love in a different way. You think showering them with gifts will make them feel all warm and fuzzy and meanwhile, they're like, " If she really loved me, she'd make more time for me ."

First, to refresh your memory, the five languages are:
- Words of affirmation
- Acts of service
- Receiving gifts
- Quality time
- Physical touch
If you're not sure which love language your child is most fluent in-and they're over age 9-you can have them take a quiz online to find out. There are instructions with the quizzes for how to approach it and make it fun, depending on the child's age. (While you're there, you can take one, too.)
