As a young Children's ministry student in 1980 in Lynchburg VA,I was privileged to study under the instruction of Herb Owen, children’s minister and music writer for Brentwood Music and many others. The resource other than scripture that most influenced my ministry was this book.
After now 25 years of graduation from LBC now LU and working with children much longer, it laid the foundation for how I dealt with any age group! Many parents and teachers love their kids, but find it hard to show them
Often they compensate with toys and games, but Dr. Campbell gives free examples of what children and teens really want from MOM and DAD, or anyone who wishes to influence for the rest of their life-including SS teachers, VBS workers, AWANA & Master Clubs leaders, etc.
Through eye contact, proper physical contact, focused attention, and discipline, we show children not only our love, but the love of a Heavenly father.
No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care. Love is an action verb. HT Really Love You Child shows you HOW.
I recommend it for every new parent, and anyone who takes on the task of leading children for God's Glory!
Blessings!

In all our parenting years (5 children and now 9 grandchildren) nothing came close to helping us as much as this book...it has been a literal godsend. Simple and profound at the same time. I give it as a gift to every new parent I know.
