You attend school events, care for physical needs, and discipline when needed. But did you know that most children, even in loving households, doubt that they are genuinely and unconditionally loved? In Dr. Ross Campbell?s groundbreaking book, he explains the emotional needs of a child and provides you with skills that will help your child feel truly loved and accepted. Using eye contact, affirmation, and spiritual nurturing, you?ll learn to really love your child no matter what the circumstances. The practical applications inHow to Really Love Your Child have already helped over 2 million parents around the world show love to their children in a way that can be received and returned, again and again. Review Most parents would be shocked to discover that their child doesn't feel loved. After all, we go to their school events, drive them where they want to go. How could they not feel loved? And yet, the top issue among children and the source of most childhood challenges is just that, not feeling completely and unconditionally loved by their parents. From the Back Cover You thought there could never be a love like the love you have for your child. But then you held your first grandchild. The emotions that flooded you focused to an intense desire to protect and make his or her world secure. Yet it's no breaking news that children face a vastly different world from the one you grew up in--or even the world your children knew. The forces of popular culture are no longer child-friendly. Too often, attitudes and ideas all around us obstruct character formation in children, rather than build it up. Although you long to know that your grandchild will be safe and secure in such a world, maybe you live a great distance away. Or perhaps there's some friction between you and your grandchild's parents, or maybe you just don't keep up with your grandchild's interests the way you would like. Whatever your circumstances, being a grandparent is a unique and wonderful opportunity to stand in the gap against the often dark and discouraging elements of our culture in order to positively influence your grandchild's future. \"How to Really Love Your Grandchild\" is a book of hope and encouragement for you to provide the extra love and emotional support that only a grandparent can give. Through stories that read like your own life, Dr. Ross Campbell's I'm-in-this-with-you advice will provide failsafe ways to stay close to your grandchildren--no matter what. About the Author The late Dr. Ross Campbell served thousands of families in his three decades as a counselor. He authored several books, including the Gold Medallion recipientHow to Really Love Your Teen andThe Five Love Languages of Children (coauthored with Gary Chapman), and wrote extensively on helping children deal with anger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David C.

At Home with God looks at the Biblical principles for raising children in faith. Jewish families have been following these principles for centuries and have developed ways to practically implement God's design for faith in families. These principles do not require another three nights a week, an extra two hours per day, or a degree in theology to execute. They are things any parent can do within the busy life of the modern family. All you need is to make a conscious decision to give it a go (and an occasional reminder to keep giving it a go). The way you do it will be different to other families, because your family is unique, but these principles have worked the same for all families throughout history. Learn about the rhythms of family life, growing your children's spiritual lives at different stages of their development, feeding children the meat of God's Word and helping them to transition into adulthood. Discover the keys you can use to raise the spiritual champions that God has entrusted to your care.About the AuthorOlly Goldenberg is an international speaker and author of many books.
