Love Languages

Do parents often find it difficult to connect with their children? Or do you love your children but find it hard to express your love?

Love between parents and children needs to be expressed properly! Today, #StayOkayHK will share the "Five Love Languages" in the hope that parents can effectively convey your love and improve your relationship with your children .

Here are 5 love languages :

Words of Affirmation: Parents can often praise and encourage their children, allowing children to feel affirmed and valued. (Please see "Praise and Encouragement" for more details)

Acts of Service: Expressing care and love through actions, e.g., preparing meals or driving them to and from school.

Receiving Gifts: Expressing love through gifts. The emphasis should be on the thought and heart behind the gift rather than its material value, such as a handmade birthday card.

Quality Time: Special time spent between parents and children, focusing on high-quality communication and companionship. (Please see "Child-led Time" for more details)

Physical Touch: Conveying care and love through physical contact, such as hugging your child at appropriate times.

Love in time, #StayOkayHK hopes you can convey your love properly. Parents should first observe and understand the form of love their children prefer the most, and reflect on whether the way you commonly express love aligns with what they want. If love can be conveyed in the manner children most expect, it undoubtedly deepens their sense of love and further strengthens the parent-child relationship.
