Children's Ministry Leaders

The lack of classroom management causes more frustration in volunteers than just about anything. I’m not going to claim to have the perfect answers and all the skills, but I do know that there are some tips that will greatly help.

Seven to 12 years of age are some of the most important in terms of a child’s life—particularly, their capacities for growth. Let's discover together: Are my kids on track?

Adults have a far greater lasting influence on our kids than their peers. So what happens when we break our promises to the next generation?

Our kids are growing up seeing more painful things on TV and social media than many in previous generations ever experienced in a lifetime. How as parents do we shield our kids without being overprotective? How do we talk to them about the scary things they have seen or experienced?

Here are a few things I was reminded of as a leader who communicates with parents who have expressed a concern.

The past two years I have started having a “thank you” wall so teachers and volunteers know how much we appreciate them.

The parents of children with developmental problems face a question other parents don't have to consider.

Something all of us who work in Kids’ Ministry understand is the importance of appreciating our volunteers.
