Is it really any different from the original?

A little bit. It’s worth the read even if you have read the original. the other guys that is writing it with him gives more perspective on the subject, and this one shows you examples how it relates to kids and how they respond. I’ve learned a lot already and started to change how I do some things.

For instance? What sticks out the most?

How kids ask for their different love languages. For example: touch - “can I sit on your lap”; words - “what do you think of the picture I drew”; acts - “can you help me clean my room”; gifts - “can you watch me open my present”; time - “can you play with me”.
Kids ask for what they need differently than how we would expect them to. sometimes we think they are prolonging something or don’t want to do something, but really they are asking for more love. It’s hard to see the difference sometimes, but from what I have experimented with is if they are actually asking for love, the effort we put in satisfies them. But if it’s just them not wanting to listen, they usually keep going even after you have put in the effort.

Hmmm. I might read it if I get done with more of my books
