This is a book written by Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell-
I am not much of a reader but this past week or so I have been reading 2 different books to change my life for the better- to get a better understanding of things.
Here is some information - that has helped me so much- better understand why Marcus is Marcus-
The emotional foundation of life is laid in the first 18 months of life- particularly the mother - child relationship. The food for future emotional health is physical touch- kind words- and tender care. hmmmmmmm- why does Marcus love hugs so much and to be near me so- he was lacking it-
The foundation of love laid in the early years affects a child's ability to learn and largely determine when they are able to grasp new information. Many children go to school ill prepared because they have not reached the emotional levels of maturity- hmmmmmm again.
Marcus missed out on alot - and it is taking time-Marcus from what I gather from the book and the answers he gave- and also stepping back and really assessing- is a child that loves the physical touch- I know you all say duh-hugs, kisses, high fives, taps on the head, back rubs, head massages all of which express love to children.
He also is a child that exhibits acts of service - this means he likes when others do nice things for him such as helping with chores, helping with school projects, or driving them places-We teach them how to serve themselves. and myself and those around us can be role models as how to serve others.
