1. Physical Touch

If your child’s love language is Physical Touch, use the Touch of Love Coupons.

Choose one of the coupons, cut it out and give it to your child, along with the type of touch on the coupon.

These coupons would 100% be preferred by my youngest daughter who loves snuggling, sitting on laps and holding hands.

You can also give your child all the coupons at once and they can give you the coupon they want to redeem.

2. Acts of Service

If acts of service are your child’s love language, every once in a while, cut out one of the coupons and do the chore on the list for them.

Helping each other with chores is often something we encourage our kids to do for each other, but I also love to help them do them once in a while, even if they don’t need the help.

I snuck into my daughter’s room and made her bed for her, leaving the Love Language Coupon on her bed as a nice surprise so she had a day off from a chore she doesn’t like.

3. Quality Time

I love spending quality time with each of my kids so we often go on “dates” together. But sometimes when you can’t get away, just having time together doing what they love is important to kids whose Love Language is quality time.

You can cut out a Quality Time coupon and give it to your kids or you can give them all and let them redeem the coupon when they are craving some extra quality time with you.

4. Gift Giving

All kids love getting gifts, big or small. But for kids whose Love Language is gift giving, they find these gifts to be a proof of your love. It reminds them you thought of them and took the time to give them something you knew they would love.

It can be a small note or a small gift you find or their favorite dessert you grab at the grocery store.

My son loves jelly beans and he really loves Starburst jelly beans, so when I found these jumbo ones, I knew he would absolutely be excited to get them.

5. Words of Affirmation

Most kids love to hear and read kind words said about them. But these notes are extra meaningful for kids whose Love Language is Words of Affirmation.

So you can print these heart notecards and write a quick note to your child praising them for their hard work, or their kindness or to just tell them you’re proud of them and love them.
