Gifts
Every child loves receiving
gifts. But for some, receiving
gifts can be the way to his
heart. These kids treasure gifts
as a tangible token of affection.
Unfortunately, because the
purveying of tangible goods
can be interpreted as spoiling
your child, a child whose love
language is receiving gifts
can be shortchanged. But the
important thing to remember
is that your gifts don’t need to
be expensive, and they don’t
need to be given with radical
frequency. But recognizing that
a child prefers to be rewarded
with yummy pastry than a hug
is an important step in building
communication.
