5 Love Languages of Children

Join us for a practical and informative class about the Five Loves Languages of Children based on the book by Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell. We will learn how to use the knowledge of the Five Love Languages to connect with our children on a deep level and prevent and respond to discipline issues. This new knowledge can also be applied to a variety of relationships and friendships to improve your connections with others.
