Bible Passage: Matthew 10:13-16

TEAM PLAYER

Advocating for our child who has challenges as they struggle to fit in children’s ministry can sometimes be agonizing. There are many things to consider and today we want to help you develop some strategies.

Remember that you are part of the TEAM

The child is the priority

Think ahead

What is helpful for this setting?

Remember that your child is emerging and expect progress

Share good character traits as well as trigger/struggle points

Give ideas of what has helped in the past but be open to new strategies

Have an attitude of gratitude

Pray for your child, the leaders, and the other children regularly

Consider a small thank you gift

Always give grace

Disorganization?

Having roller coaster emotions?

Getting frustrated easily?

Reading?

Math?

Testing?

It is possible that your child is mixed-dominant.
