It has been amazing to watch our children develop technology skills that I know will serve them well in the years to come. I am not suggesting children be banned from interacting with technology.

Would you allow me to suggest what I believe this is communicating to your children? 

Church is for grownups. The music, the prayer time, the teaching from the Word has no relevance to you as a child.

We want our children to know the name of our church…the name of our pastor. the theology in the songs that we sing.

Would you allow me to suggest what I believe this is communicating to your children? 

A Few Practical Tips that Might Work for Your Kids:

1. Practice quiet time at home! These days, kids are so busy. running from activity to activity.

1. If this is a new concept in your house, start small: Set a timer for 5 minutes. Instruct your kiddo to color quietly during that time. If you have to go hide in the bathroom, do it.

2. Encourage your kids to take an actual Bible to church with them. . Make sure your kids know the books of the Bible. I love that the Bible is available on our phones, tablets etc.

3.  For young ones, allow them to doodle with pencil and paper (yes, during the sermon). For some learners, this can be an effective way to encourage listening skills.
