Viele Schriftsteller und Denker waren „anders“ als ihre Mitmenschen. Diese Andersartigkeit erlaubte es ihnen, Werke zu schreiben, die wir heute bewundern. Doch solche Andersartigkeit machte ihnen das Leben zuweilen zur sprichwörtlichen Hölle: Sie haderten mit sich, mit der Welt, mit dem eigenen Werk. Oft wird dieser Aspekt bei der Bewunderung verdrängt. Das Buch von Dominik Riedo versammelt literarische Porträts, die gewissermassen den Finger auf die offene Wunde legen: Sie berichten von Schmerz, von letzten Jahren im Leben, von späten Werken, Endzeitwerken, Endzeitstimmungen oder metaphysischer Trauer. Sie zeigen aber auch das Aufbäumen im kümmerlichen Leben, den Gerechtigkeitssinn vieler dieser Denker, das Gute im Schlechten. Das «Dennoch».

loved the book!
Format: Kindle
I agree that children are gifts and that they should be raised surrounded by love. It won’t happen without working on yourselves first. Great information and very interesting!

Every parent should read this
What an eye opening book, not even just for how to understand the different ways to love your children, but on how people in general feel and express love differently. I firmly feel that every parent should be sent home with one of these books after having a baby. It has helped me understand things from my childhood and the lack of love I received, it has helped me understand my husbands love language and of course my sons. This book has revealed so much in so many different levels. It is any easy read and hooked me right away.

I'll admit I was skeptical
Ordinarily, the follow-on books are kind of flat. The Elizabeth George "After God's Own Heart" books seemed this way, although the first one, "A Woman After God's Own Heart" was excellent.
I was expecting the same sort of flatness from this book. I found a lot to apply in the original Love Languages book, and I'm still sneaking it into my marriage. It's one thing to tell your Quality-Time husband that you are a TOUCH wife, and a whole different thing to gently convince him to touch touch touch touch touch touch. It has brought me to a whole new level of positive reinforcement.
So I figured this one for kids would be a couple of hundred pages of telling parents that kids need *every* love language. And indeed, there was some of that.
But the book was full of clues for how to recognize your child's love language, how it may change over time, and how to communicate.
The book offered a lot. I thought the chapters on conflict were very worthwhile, and even on how to discipline in the different love languages. My kids are so different that I needed all the pointers I could get. And surprise -- thinking about love languages across generations has helped me communicate better with my parents, too -- off to a good start, anyway.
I read this 6 months ago. My eldest started talking more, to me and to other people, NOTICEABLY more, and it's bringing me some relief from one of my biggest parenting worries -- how remote this child has been. That has been the biggest and most immediate change in our family recently, and I can trace it to this book.
I would recommend you read the first Love Languages book first, and then this one to think specifically about your kids.
Oh, and for moms, definitely read A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George. It's family-enhancing.

You Love Your Child, But Does Your Child Feel Loved?
I rarely read a book from cover to cover twice, but when I was given the opportunity to receive a free copy of the 2012 Edition of The 5 Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell for review, I was eager to do so, particularly since my daughter was so young the first time I read it that I could not determine her love language at the time. To be honest, even with the Love Language Mystery Game to help determine a child's love language, I still cannot be sure of my daughter's even though she is old enough that I should be able to do so. There is nothing wrong with the concepts described in the book, I think it is just that my daughter seems pretty balanced as she receives all five gratefully and gives all five as well, which I believe suggests that her father and I successfully have been keeping her "love tank" full most of the time.
The book proposes that as loving as parents may try to be, a child may believe his parents love him, but may not feel loved because the parents are not speaking in the child's love language. While one child may be happy with a gift when the father comes home from a business trip, another child may not feel loved by getting a gift because his love language is quality time. This book helps parents to determine which of the five love languages--physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, or acts of service--a child appreciates and needs the most as well as how the parent can help the child to feel loved. It also stresses that every child needs all five, but one will be predominate.
I highly recommend this book for all parents, particularly those who are having difficulties with their children, but it is beneficial even to those who think they have happy, loving children. Probably just as important as understanding how to speak in the child's love language is how to discipline with love without causing damage to the parent-child relationship by using a type of punishment that empties the emotional tank; a chapter is devoted to this subject.
If you are like me and have a 1997 Edition, let me explain the main differences I noticed between the two books, besides the change in the cover. The earlier edition often referred to keeping the emotional tank full would help to avoid drug use and teenage promiscuity, which was not in the latest edition. In the 2012 Edition, there were some updated statistics and reference to a book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua that was published in January 2011. Some of the names in the stories had been changed to more popular names at the time of the rewrite. The most notable addition was the list of suggestions to speak the child's love language at the end of each corresponding chapter. Otherwise, there were only minor editing changes here and there. I did think that the hand print in the heart on the cover of the first edition was a better depiction than the green rubber boots with flowers, but that is a minor point.
I received this book for free from Moody Publishers in exchange for my honest review.

I love this book! Helped me with the kids, my parents and my boyfriend.
I bought this book in preparation for becoming a stepmother. Knowing the kids involved had experience some difficulties in their relationship with their biological mother I wanted to make sure I could bring something positive to the table. We have already utilize some of the lessons in this book to ensure that the kids are happy and healthy in the decisions that by boyfriend was making with them on his own. We have also used information provided in this book to help his ex-wife better understand what the right decisions for the kids are to best meet their needs. I have actually sent multiple copies of this book to family members who I feel would benefit from its information. I frequently talk about the love languages of children as it relates to friends family and romantic relationships as well as co-worker or boss employee relationships. I think at this point everyone I know is sick of hearing about this book. I purchased the love languages of teenagers book to prepare for the next stage in the kids lives. I also plan to purchase the love languages for couples book so that my boyfriend and I can learn to communicate even better since we got some helpful information out of this book unexpectedly. I highly recommend reading this book. As a child who did not feel loved by her parents I think it would be important for every parent to read this and have an understanding of the different needs that each child has so that they can show the love that they have in a way that their child can understand.
