To nurture our toddlers in a loving, safe and enthusiastic environment creating opportunities to begin and build a relationship with God.
LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE
This month I would like to talk about feeling loved and accepted. In the toddlers class you will find different children. From the noisy one to the quiets child you have ever seen. From the leader who wants to get the last word to the one who says ok to everything without complaining. We only have 2 hours to bless these children, to help them feel accepted and loved, no matter if he is very popular or not, just because he is a God's child and is our responsibility as teachers to reinforce what the parents are teaching them. Love and acceptance bring out the best. God's love and acceptance change our lives "I have chosen you and not cast you away" Isaiah 41:9 "I have loved you with an everlasting love" Jeremiah 31:3 Along with prayer, children need to see love manifested toward them with eye contact, physical touch( a hug, a kiss) and with loving acts and words. You will see an immediate and noticeable change in the children faces when you make a deliberate effort looking the children directly in the eye with a gently touch with your hands and with a smile saying "You are great God loves you and so do I". Try this and you will see peace and joy in your class every Sunday. I have tried this since my three children were born and I know that they feel loved and accepted and they can share it without problem to others in need.
Love you guys. Claudine.
Note: Please be at the classroom 10 min. before the service. If you are unable to teach scheduled day, please be considerate and find yourself a replacement.
