Love Language/Physical Touch
- Jul 7, 2021

My son, 15-year-old Landon, used to snuggle up on the couch with me when we'd watch a movie, hug me in greeting, and even asked me to tuck him in at night. Three years ago this stopped abruptly. Now I'm lucky if I get a high-five or fist bump and if I want a hug I have to chase him down. He's 5'9; I'm 5'4. The chase is futile. I understand that it is natural for a son to push away his mother, but there have been moments in the last three years that I mourned the hugs of my son and wished I hadn't taken them for granted. But, I've learned that Landon's love language is not physical touch, it's quality time. He likes to be heard and feel that his words are valued. I had to flip the switch and speak his language in order to show him my love, instead of forcing my love language on him.
Heather, I read this last week and I just read it again this morning. Thank you so much for posting this.
So beautiful...and AMEN!
Great info Heather! This will come in handy when I go camping!
Hi Heather, more great information on bone building. Also I am almost through the 28 day calendar and it has been fantastic! I highly recommend it.
Heather,
This is great info to share ! I recently had my second bone density test and it had improved from the first one. I trust that it due to the strength training classes I attend with you and my diet !
Hi Heather, excellent information on Bone health. Also, I just finished the 31 day challenge and it was fantastic. Looking forward to the 28 challenge starting tomorrow. Thank you for having all this information and for the great workouts!
Hey, thanks for the info Heather. It actually makes a lot of sense. Haven’t thought about that before. Looks like I’ll be adding a little salt and a little maple syrup!
