  1. Gary D. Chapman _ The 5 Love Languages of

    Abuse of gift-giving can occur when a child is living with a custodial parent following a separation or divorce. The noncustodial parent is often tempted to shower a child with gifts, perhaps from the pain of separation or feelings of guilt over leaving the family. When these gifts are overly expensive, ill-chosen, and used as a comparison with what the custodial parent can provide, they are really a form of bribery, an attempt to buy the child's love. They may also be a subconscious way of getting back at the custodial parent. Children receiving such ill-advised gifts may eventually see them for what they are, but in the meantime they are learning that at least one parent regards gifts as a substitute for genuine love. This can make children materialistic and manipulative, as they learn to manage people's feelings and behavior by the improper use of gifts. This kind of substitution can have tragic consequences for the children's character and integrity.

    The best way to love your children is to love their mother {father}." That's true. The quality of your marriage greatly affects the way you relate to your children-and the way they receive love. If your marriage is healthy-both partners treating each other with kindness, respect, and integrity-you and your spouse will feel and act as partners in parenting.
