The language of love - small gestures with a big impact

Love is not only shown in big moments, but above all in everyday life. If you find out how your child receives affection particularly well, you will strengthen your relationship in the long term.


Children experience affection in different ways. Some feel secure through closeness and cuddling, others enjoy encouraging words, time together or little help in everyday life. If you carefully observe which form of affection makes your child particularly radiant, you will gain a valuable key to a loving relationship. This form of communication helps your child to feel safe and accepted - especially on days when many things are challenging.

It also creates a relaxed atmosphere for parents. As soon as you know what is good for your child, you can consciously create small moments: a short conversation at snack time, an attentive look while playing or a loving sentence before going to sleep. Such everyday gestures strengthen trust and ensure that your child feels that their feelings are taken seriously.

Five languages of love in everyday family life:

  1. Tenderness: a hug, a gentle handshake or a cuddling moment convey warmth and security.
  2. Words of appreciation: Encouraging sentences, honest praise and loving feedback build self-confidence.
  3. Time together: Undivided attention - be it when doing handicrafts, playing or going for a walk - gives children a sense of importance.
  4. Helpfulness: Supportive actions in everyday life show care and support.
  5. Small tokens of appreciation: Drawings, a loving note in the Znüniböxli or a specially set breakfast table make hearts beat faster.

If you know and consciously speak your child's language of love, you will create a family atmosphere full of warmth and closeness. These moments will stay with your child far beyond childhood - as a valuable feeling of being supported and loved.

Have fun putting it into practice!
