Grey Bruce Kids Fall 2021

• Sit and calmly help them do homework
• Lovingly brush their hair as you catch up on the day
• Make a bucket list of one-on-one activities to do when they
least expect it
• Not assuming your child can ‘handle it,’ but rather offering
support or showing up to help
To discover and understand your child’s love language gives you
both the gift of deepening your parent-child connection. The
key is to strengthen their sense of self-worth, which is key for
long lasting self-love and confidence.
As you continue fulfilling your child and family’s love language
needs, it is equally important to ensure your own tank is being
refilled. Your mental, emotional and physical health is just as
important as theirs. Asking for your own love languages to be
met is equally important.
As you and your family continue to grow, both as an individual
and a unit, continue to observe your family’s unique and
individual love languages. Although it can be hard, it will help
you deepen your family’s bond based on unconditional love. GBK
