Understanding how people feel appreciated
The idea of Gary Chapman's love languages is that everyone gives and receives love in different ways. If we want to show people that we care about them, we need to understand what behaviours they interpret as an expression of appreciation.

- Quality time
- Acts of service
- Physical touch
- Receiving gifts
