How do the five love languages look different when it comes to children with special needs? This is a question that Jolene Philo, the co-author of Sharing Love Abundantly in Special Needs Families, seeks to explain to parents raising kids with disabilities. Jolene co-authored this insightful guide which has encouraged many caregiving families, alongside well-respected Dr. Gary Chapman. The book discusses the five primary love languages of children, which include Acts of Service, Gift Giving, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Jolene offers valuable methods for identifying the love languages in our children, how to relay these love languages with our children’s educators, and how we can get comfortable and effective in helping special needs families.
