It is Sunday morning, one minutes before ringing the church. You have just parked the car, strapped the children, took the diaper bag that spilled their contents under the car seat, then check if all the kids running across the parking lot. They were! So gather up your things, and ran after them while (the child and shaking) from too much, and tried to get them to stop without anyone noticing from the church. Phew! They finally made the bench in the firstsong. The circus has just begun.
Let me assure you that you are doing the right thing. If you value service, you need to expose your children from an early age, so that it is value, too. Children do not learn how to sit in the church during the sermon are heard and for prayer, if they never find out. The "bad" news is that while you teach them that church is important (and it is!) You, the parents, not being able to worship as you in the past. That's okay. ThisEducation is very important to the faith, so be prepared to build some of your comfort on a foundation for your children.
There are some things you can do with your children, with whom she decided to stay in the church, but not distract others. They may even be able to sing a song or a sermon, if employed for a few minutes.
1. Bring a quiet, soft books and toys with a biblical emphasis. Visit your local Christian bookstore and you'll find a few books thatqualify. Only bring these books or toys to the church, so they have something special.
2. If your church allows, bring a non-messy snack. No peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, please. Think quiet and clean. You do not want to attract attention if your child slurps on her straw or dark grape juice spills, which the church carpet.
3. Sit closer to the front. Many parents think that is only bring trouble, but I've seen more families are sitting up in the first or second row. They saysitting in front helps the child to worship, not all the other kids to make noise in the back. Good point! You see it a few times to react like your children to try.
4. Get or make a church bag. This is a small bag that can carry your child in preschool age alone. Fill it with things he loves, and he gets to bring it to church every time. Make sure it bears his name, and that surprises you put it every other week. Some things you might also be a snack bag, a simpleNotebook for scribbling, coloring book, crayons, pencil, quiet toys, dolls, felt books, etc.
5. Bring your favorite blanket. Sometimes the children are tired and can not be comfortable. When they brought her blankie, her pacifier, her favorite stuffed bear, perhaps they would take a nap, and you could hear for a while.
6. Sewing cards can be fun. I do not know if this is no longer sold, but the idea of it, a few tickets to be, put a picture on it (a drawing or printit from the computer.) then use a paper punch holes around the edge of the image of punch. Your child will enjoy sewing the image with a shoe-string or a piece of yarn. Be sure to wrap tape around the end of the tape so he can get them easily through the holes.
7. If your children are too much for you to take over sometimes, do not be afraid to ask for help. Perhaps an older lady is their "church, Grandma." Pre-Teen Girls often want to learn, baby-sitter. Having them sit in yourBank on Sunday morning is great training. Remember that they can not know what to do to them a few instructions.
Everyone expected that the children make noise and do not always sit still. Do not stop the behavior of your child, you go to church. On the other hand, the people in the church to worship. So if your child does not sit still or is howling, you take it out or standing at the back of the sanctuary with them. Sometimes, just standing up and the pace is everything a child needs.If you implement some of these ideas will be appreciated people in your community that your children and teach them the opportunity to worship in a meaningful way. Maybe they will even offer to help you.
More importantly, will show you and example for your children the value of worship. The knowledge that the training, it lasts a lifetime.
Proverbs 22:6 train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn away from him.
