Thumbs up! I haven't read any other Chapman books, but understand the concept of the love languages. That being said, I believe this book is much more than a repeat of the same ideas. Teens are a uniquely challenging age! This book clearly outlines the mindset and goals of this stage of development and how it effects attitudes and responses. My role as a parent and their role as emerging adults change so dramatically during this age that I really appreciated the very practical ideas and spe...more

I think I finished it. You know what? I KNOW I finished it. It doesn't matter if the statement is true because I refuse to pick it up again.
I can't understand why Gary Chapman would want to write another book about Love Languages (For teens this time) when the people who understood his first one (for spouses) would very likely be able to translate it into love for teens. The only logical explanation appears to be:for the money.
In any case, I don't care for this book. I th...more

I think the points in here are interesting. I could pick out the love languages of my kids. I passed the book to one of my students. She was talking about what her parents do to show her they love her and how that's not what she wants. She would rather them do something else. It's a book relevant and if kids can see the connection I think it could be helpful. It's probably more for high school kids though. It's a concept I don't think most middle school kids think about.

Very good book for every parent of a teenager to help you understand how to make your child feel loved. These concepts are helpful in every relationship. It also helped me better understand some of the changes going on inside my sons as they grow up.

This is a great review for parents of teenagers. It talks about the different methods that we can express love to our teenagers, when and how to utilize them, and how the five love languages apply to kids when they become teenagers versus when they were children.
I highly recommend this book for all parents-- and read it BEFORE they become teenagers so that you are prepared to grow and 'change' with them! Of course, I highly recommend the book The Five Love Languages of Children for...more

This book deals with a big chunk of info from The Five Love Languages book, but it has a lot of good additional information relating specifically to teens...so definitely worth reading if you have teenagers in your life.

If you have ever had counselling by a reputable counsellor, the information here is not new. However, it is related in such a way as to be amazingly applicable to how you relate to your kids. This book pulled me out of the fire helping me find alternatives for handling teen angst issues I might have handled less successfully otherwise. Must have for parents of teens. Should read it monthly at least. Not sure why I can't keep these concepts more closely at hand.

recommends it for:
Christian teens who can read
OK - read the review on the 'adult' version of 5 Love Languages first. Now that adults know how to love each other, teens should be a cinch! Right? Why do you pause? Hold on... pray, and then wait until they are 25 then you will learn their love language (give them the adult book at that time). Until then, learn to show them the unconditional love of Christ... then they will know the real love language: God's!

This follow up to Chapman's "Five Love Languages" is specific for teenagers and the challenges that we as parents face during this time. Chapman takes the five love languages and molds them to teenagers. He also touches on the psychological aspects of what makes teenagers unique and how to love them despite their mood swings and sometimes outward defiance.
