-
Train them to worship at home.
-
Teach them that worship is about praising God, not entertaining man. (It not about us put about Him)
-
If your kids can't sit still, it is not a fidgeting problem,” but a “parenting problem.”
-
Make the sanctuary a quiet place for worship preparation, not Christian high fives.
-
Don't allow kids to escape worship with trickery: potty runs fidgeting, naughtiness.
-
Don't take young children to a nursery, use the cry room... with the sermon pump in.
-
Don't let your children distract themselves with the hymnal, guest cards, or crawling.
-
No toys (or coffee) in the sanctuary.
-
Don't let your kids entertain others during worship.
-
Doodle? No. Draw pictures of the sermon? Yes.
