How We Love Our Kids​

The Five Love Styles of Parenting

​

​
How We Love Our Kids

The Five Love Styles of Parenting by Milan and Kay Yerkovich is a book that helps parents understand how their own childhood experiences shape their parenting style, using five core "love styles" (Avoider, Pleaser, Vacillator, Controller/Victim, and Secure) to identify patterns and improve connection with their children. It focuses on self-awareness, helping parents recognize their triggers and "buttons," and provides a path to heal past wounds to create a more secure and loving relationship with their kids, moving beyond simple behavioral fixes to address deeper emotional needs. 

Five Love Styles
The book identifies five core styles (Avoider, Pleaser, Vacillator, Controller/Victim, and Secure) that dictate how people give and receive love, stemming from early family dynamics. 


Parental Self-Awareness
It emphasizes that parents often project their own unresolved issues onto their children, and understanding their own style is key to transforming the parent-child relationship. 


Beyond Behavior
Unlike other parenting books, it goes deeper than just actions, focusing on the underlying emotional and attachment issues that drive interactions. 


Healing and Connection
The goal is to help parents identify their triggers, repair relational damage, and build a secure, deep connection with their children by changing how they love. 



What the 3 Day Intensive Offers

  • Tools to help parents identify their own love style and that of their children. 
  • Transformation:  A guide to making specific changes in how you love to transform your child's life. 
  • Practical Application: Real-life stories and insights to help parents see themselves and apply the concepts. 
  • Deeper Connection:  A path to building intimacy and connection by understanding the "unseen forces" at play.
