Love Languages and Parenting
In this episode of Digging Deeper, Laura Story Elvington and guest host Jimmy Kim are joined by Dr. Gary Chapman to explore how the five love languages shape not only marriages, but also the way we parent our children.
Dr. Chapman shares how every child has an “emotional love tank” and how understanding your child’s primary love language can lead to deeper connection and emotional health.
With practical insights and gospel-centered encouragement, this conversation equips parents to love their children more intentionally—and reminds us that learning to love well is a lifelong journey.
