The Language of Touch
My oldest son’s love language is absolutely touch. There is no doubt about it. He rubs, strokes, touches, hugs, feels constantly. When he sits next to me, he’ll grab my hand and put it on his head so that I’ll rub his head.
So, whenever I find that I have a free moment and I happen to be sitting down, you can almost bet that Scott will be in my lap.
In four months, he’ll turn six years old. There’s going to come a day in our not so distant future when sitting on his mommy’s lap is going to be the last thing he’ll want to do.
Despite the fact that being touched makes him feel loved more than any words or actions I could convey, he’ll bypass my lap and head for other things.
But for now, I’ll just enjoy it. I’ll hug him and kiss him and stroke him and tell him in his language how much I love him and how cherished he is.
And despite how incredibly full every minute of every day is for me, I’ll relish every single minute of it.

Touch is my 4 yr old daughters love language as well. Love all our cuddles times and try to not take them for granted.
This describes my son Henry as well. He is very physically affectionate. If he is near me, he tucks his feet under me. He likes to rest his hand on me somewhere, rub my arm. The first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is come in our bed to snuggle with whoever is still there. He loves to have his back scratched. I love it. I too realize it won’t last forever so I just eat it up.
