I will be trying to utilize the idea of making sure I show/express my love for those I care about in a way that they can appreciate, however, some of the examples used were REALLY over the top corny. To the point that I seriously doubt that these are real conversations or situations. Also, the section on discipline wasn't really all that helpful. I'm only dealing with an 18month old, so fortunately we don't have any big discipline issues at this point, however, for someone who IS having problems and at their wits end I don't think this chapter was particularily helpful. I also realize that they did mention other books on discipline, so perhaps the intention was to point out that you must appropriately use the childs love language when disciplining. Not so much concrete ideas/suggestions for discipline. Lastly, this is a Christian based book. I don't see that as an issue, but I didn't realize this was the case when I purchased it. Had I known, I still would have purchased, but for someone who this is an issue for, it may come as a suprise.
