Cat's Activity Day group had a meeting about the Five Love Languages recently and we were given enough quizzes for all of the kids in our family (found here). So for FHE one nightAct we had each of the kids take the test and we talked about what they mean. Here are the results:
Cat
#1 - Gifts
#2 - Words of Affirmation
#3 - Quality Time
Jack
#1 - Physical Touch
#2 - Words of Affirmation
#2 - Acts of Service
#3 - Gifts
#3 - Quality Time
Eliza
#1 - Physical Touch
#1 - Acts of Service
#1 - Quality Time
#2 - Gifts
Cat's and Jack's top love language didn't surprise me. But some of the other things that we learned did surprise me. Cat's top three were all very close to each other, which is why I listed all of them. And Jack's answers were distributed almost equally among the five love languages. And I just laughed about Eliza, our quintessential middle child, having a three-way tie for the top spot.
Luke was too young to take the test, and even Jack and Eliza are at the bottom of the range the test is recommended for, so we'll have to be sure to do this again in a year or two. But I'm grateful for this bit of insight into how to best express love to and respond to expressions of love from my kids.
very interesting!
