The same principles applies for when you try to make your child feel loved. Danny and John share some of the common ways boys and girls tend to express love. Featuring Dr. Gary Chapman and Jean Daly.

| 0:15.4 | In college when I was studying communication 101 there is the drawing on the board that shows you know the speaker and the line coming out and there's the recipient and the recipient may or may not hear what the speaker says when we communicate it might not be heard the same way we think |
| 0:21.6 | we're we're saying it. |

| 0:27.0 | And Danny, this is something that affects how our kids hear us |
| 0:31.0 | as we express love to them, there are times when I'm offering love in a way that they're not hearing. |
