If you are a parent of babies or toddlers and attend Christ Community, your infant/toddler is not just in childcare. Your babies are being prayed for and learning that Jesus is their good friend.Toddlers are playing games and learning rhymes, listening to stories and coloring Activity Pages. They’re doing all that at church to learn that Jesus is their good friend. But,
they’re not at church every day. In fact, they’re at home MUCH more than they’re with their leaders. So, you, at home, telling them that Jesus is their good friend will make much more of an impact than anything we do at church.
Some days, it’s hard to remember to “fit in” a spiritual lesson at home. The thing is, you don’t have to “fit in” the lesson at all. Children learn from
observation and speaking into their tiny ears. They will learn more about Jesus and good friends from you just by watching you than
anything you say. So, when you’re having a bad day (and we all have them), take a deep breath, a
moment to reflect and calm down, and remember that your preschooler is watching.
Listen to the Parent CUE Live podcast to hear more on some strategies that can help you get your rhythm back on a bad day. Thank you for partnering with us in helping to build your child's faith even as a baby!
