For young children, this desire for love and connection is no different, but what sets them apart is that each child is developing a sense of identity, as they learn about social norms and how to express themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As adults, we sometimes interpret our children\u2019s intentions through our eyes and may not always understand what they truly mean. &nbsp;We must set a firm foundation so that our children know and understand that they are loved for who they are, not what they can do or how they do it.&nbsp; Everything we do and say must be built upon the foundation of love and care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every act is like planting a seed in their hearts and when they feel it, they reciprocate and a little flowering happens to that seed. Something takes root or grows a little \u2013 and this builds the heart-to-heart connection and strengthens the relationship between parent and child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your child&#8217;s love language?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-260x195.jpg 260w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Anglican Preschool Services<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Gary Chapman, a marriage counsellor known for his best-selling book\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Love-Languages-Secret-that-Lasts\/dp\/080241270X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The 5 Love Languages<\/a> suggests that we all express and experience love in five different ways:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li>Physical touch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Quality time&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Words of Affirmation&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>Acts of Service&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>Gifts&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has one primary language that we give and receive love.

Looking back, it was the loving bond shared between my parents and I that helped me to express, receive and understand love through all the 5 languages of love. Till today, the journey continues as I relate and connect with those around me, especially with loved ones . As parents and adults, how we choose to respond to our children matters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 3 ways we can constructively understand and speak the language of love to our children at home:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>1) Use the <\/strong>&#8220;<strong>Serve and Return&#8221; method<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-260x195.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-380x285.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-1160x870.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5.jpeg 1290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Anglican Preschool Services<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard the phrase \u201cserve and return\u201d in the context of child development, but what does it mean? At its core, serve and return is about responsive interactions between adults and children, and how those interactions help children grow and reach their full potential. One person \u201cserves\u201d by offering up a sound, glance, word, or gesture, and the other \u201creturns\u201d it: Your baby looks at you, and you smile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One useful method is to repeat what your child says (in the form of a question) and reciprocate. For example, when your child says, \u201cI love you, Papa!\u201d you can respond with, \u201cYou love Papa? Papa loves you&nbsp; very much too.\u201d Accompany this with a loving touch to support and encourage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This forms the foundation for responsive interactions even from infancy. Research shows that serve and return is crucial for shaping brain architecture and build strong neural connections. It also helps to strengthen relationships which are essential to our children\u2019s lifelong learning, health and behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Prompt them to think about putting love in action<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-260x195.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-380x285.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6-1160x870.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-6.jpeg 1265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Anglican Preschool Services<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Asking questions helps our children to think about how they can show love in different ways and situations.&nbsp; Start with a recall, by saying: \u201cRemember yesterday when we took the MRT to meet Daddy for dinner after work? Did you enjoy that?\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can learn what our children love from how they respond to us.
