My thoughts:

I was excited to read How We Love Our Kids: The 5 Love Styles of Parenting by Milan and Kay Yerkovich. I have read other books about love languages and similar premises and have learned so much from them. I expected to learn so much from this book and I did.

The Yerkoviches offer insight into the different styles of parenting, as well as the different styles of children and how these work together or against one another in this realm we call parenting. They do not condemn how parents grew up, however they offer solutions and insight into how you can change and become the best parent you can be even if your own parents were not stellar. We can take our own experiences, learn from them and create and maintain healthier and better relationships with our own children. I felt that this was the first book that I have read that offers this perspective and as such should be a read for all parents. However, if you are looking for a quick fix on how to best relate to your child and not change yourself then this book is not for you.
