We thank you praise you Love your father's we thank you in Jesus name. We pray Amen. Amen. Thank you Thomas Okay, so we yesterday we were looking at You know the developmental needs of children in ages three to four and We also saw the You know they we saw that the intellectual Physical social spiritual Needs and we also saw you know the areas that You know we can really help them spiritually and What are their requirements in this in that age group we also looked at The developmental needs of children between four to seven years. We saw You know their growth rates we saw that what they like to do what activities we can bring in We also saw that you know, what is how they relate to others relate to God and We we learned the spiritual needs Which they need to hear the spiritual messages that they need to hear what is the spiritual needs and What is the spiritual message they need to hear? Okay? So today we look at The developmental needs of children in Eight to ten years old ages eight to ten, okay, so we'll just look at that What is the goals for this age? They're basically trying to accept Themselves they're learning about their strengths. They gives their talents They love to make friends, so they're learning to make friends. They're learning to also get along with each other and Because you know, they're looking at each one of them is different and you know, they understanding that all of us are different that are learning to accept the differences in others and you know Trying to get along with the others who they are making friends with okay They're also beginning to learn About their role in society their responsibilities in the family and among friends what they should do what they shouldn't Be doing okay They are early leaders. They're able to read easily. So it's good at this time to give them some verses from the Bible Which they can read and this will also help them to get familiar with the books of the Bible It'll also help them to read the Bible because mostly children in this age They don't read the Bible by themselves. They're you know, either their parents are reading to them or You know, they're just attending if they have You know family prayer time so we can encourage them by getting them to Read the Bible, of course, they will find it difficult to open to where you know to find where Galatians is or Psalms is Over Genesis is you know, so you can just help them tell them Genesis the first book of the Bible show them where Psalms is Maybe you'll have to Get to each one and open the Bible some of them some children are very smart They go to the index page or the content page and just see the page number and they Turn quickly but it's good to it though It'll take time for them to open their Bibles and read but it's good because they get familiar with the Bible the books of the Bible and Also because they're You know developing to read it's good to get them to read So they will also know that they can go back home and read their Bible, which is very very important You know for us to teach at from a very early age, okay? They're also learning to look up things in the Bible. For example, you know, they're You know that God is loving God is caring he forgives People he's compassionate, you know, what sin does in our lives What is a punishment for sin and salvation? So so all of these topics, you know Then you can as you are teaching them You'll lead them to look at it in the Bible so that they know where to find They get familiar with where to find these specific topics in the Bible now when we say that You know, these are the characteristics of the goals for the ages eight to ten age eight is basically third standard and four years old they are in nine ten They're tense when they are in the fifth grade. They are ten years old Okay, so we're basically talking about children who are from third to fifth grade. Okay So they're learning to look up things in the Bible. They're also able to copy Bible verses. So if there's anything that is very important Either they can write it down in their student workbooks if you have or if you have a notebook Which they bring to Children's Church or Sunday school You can get them to write those Bible passages or even write down their Memory verses because they're able to write. Okay, they're able to answer written questions with short answers or Sentences so you can ask them, you know questions And you know, maybe even get them to write down what they think Basically, when you're asking questions is good to ask them not just Details of the narrative that you've told them for example, what did you know? the blind man Bartimus do when you know You know, nobody was taking him to Jesus and he was losing his opportunity now Don't ask them very Simple questions like that, but ask them questions that will help you understand whether they have got The truth of what you are really telling them You know the the truth of the narrative that you're trying to bring out or the theological truths that you are Trying to tell them about or about the truths about God that you have You know communicated to them So it's very important that you ask those kind of questions which will gauge For yourself that they have really understood what you're trying to Communicate now the thing is most of our children in who attend Sunday school or children's church regularly They know all of you know, the Bible stories, but what they really, you know Miss out is the the the truths the revelation truths or the The theological truths they miss out on the learning and how to apply what they have learned So that is what we need to focus more on of course any point of time They will get the details about the story because they'll keep reading they'll be listening to it So that is not the you know main focus our main focus is you know, if you're telling them Blind man Bartimae story or narrative then the the important thing there is you know that Jesus hears us Even though we are thousands or millions of people on this face of the earth He knows what they're going to he listens to us. He hears our prayer. He answers us The other thing is about fate that you know Blind man Bartimaeus he could not see Jesus through his physical eyes. He just heard from a few people, you know Who Jesus was what he's done and he knew this was the only opportunity and he did not want to miss out on the opportunity And so he did everything and so it this was his faith that got him to Receive his sight back. What if he said, okay? I really don't think you know Jesus can help me because I've been blind from you know You know from a young age early age and it's I'm too old. Nobody can help me now Nobody is willing to help me. Nobody's willing to take me to Jesus. So I really don't have the opportunity I've lived the rest of my life like this, but you see that, you know, it was his faith that did not Give up. So you need to ask questions Based on you know, things that they are learned that you're trying to bring out the truth And if they've understood very very Clearly and even if you are getting them to write, you know Answers which we usually don't do but you know in in APC Children's Church, we have a student workbook I'll just show it to you. Maybe next class a Student workbook where we have a few discussion questions and they're not just based on you know You know the answers to the story the narrative that we're saying but it's more about application kind of questions Kind of questions that will help us gauge whether they have really understood or to take the lesson much more into a deeper Depth by getting them to think and analyze and write down their thoughts. Okay, but at this age, you know Fifth standard fourth standard is fine third standard Third graders finding a little difficult to write So you can basically get them to write, you know, what they have learned from the story Okay, because different children will Learn different things based on what they are going to based on their own personal Needs now for one child what they would have learned from blind man Bartima's story is that Jesus loves us So maybe the child is feeling that nobody loves them or Jesus cares for me So the child is basically feeling that, you know, I don't feel loved and cared So I know that Jesus loves and cares for me another child might, you know, write in their learning experience what I learned is I Learned that, you know, when I pray that Jesus hears and answers my Prayer so we know that this child is praying and we know this child is Eager to know that Jesus is hearing that prayer and he's answering. Maybe the child is praying for different needs Maybe another child who's quite mature in their spiritual understanding may say that, you know, I learned to not give up You know in my in my when I asked Jesus to believe and trust that he's going to give me so Different children based on their needs will You know apply the lesson personally to themselves and they would have learned different things as you are narrating, okay, so we need to get them to Write down what they personally learn and it's good for us to say, okay, we learned This is this from this narrative, but I want you to write down what it how it personally Ministered to you or what you personally learned and so we see that different children learn You know based on their different needs and so don't give them Okay, this is what we learned so you need to practice this they might not go back home and practice it Because it's not going to apply to them So what you need to do is, you know, get them to write down what they learned personally and then write down How they are going to apply it. Okay. Now basically, you know, if a child writes that You know a blind man bar team is You know Cryed out to Jesus and Jesus heard so, you know, I need to even pray every day and I can pray for different people And I know Jesus will hear and answer my prayer. So you get them to write Don't get them to write something that they are not able to apply very way. Like for example one child could have written, you know Jesus loves us. Okay, so how they're going to apply it. They're the child right, you know, Jesus loves everyone Now that is a very general kind of application. It's not very specific But get them to write specifically. Okay, how do you think that you're going to apply this thought that or what you learn that Jesus loves everyone? So personally for you. So maybe, you know, the child can say when I feel right there when I feel that nobody loves and cares me Cares for me. I can trust that Jesus will I trust that Jesus loves and cares for me. He is there for me So this week, I'm going to, you know Not have this doubt in my mind that there's nobody who loves and cares for me. So, you know Practical ways of how they're going to Apply it. Okay, and you can get them to write down because they're able to write easily and also they're able to You know Understand what you're trying to Tell them. Okay, they're able to Answer written questions questions with short answers or sentences so you can get them to write then, you know, they can do Word games so you can get them to write do puzzles Or, you know, just crosswords or cryptograms. I'll just show you what Cryptograms are okay. I'll just present Cryptograms to you so you can get to see that Okay, this is a cryptogram It's you know, it's different Alphabets that are there with the you know with corresponding numbers and You know, you want them to if you want to do a creative activity about learning your memory verse or you want to tell them what we learned today in this narrative or You know, what is the truth we learned about God you can have you know Like the numbers written down in this the dashes down So each number Corresponds to one alphabet. So they have to look for example. The first word is 15 6 and 4 so 15 is What is 15? 15 is H 6 is O and 4 is W okay, so H O w is how Okay, so basically they're trying to find the alphabets and then they would get to their memory verse or get to the truth that you want to teach them or you know or even the A nature of God or the name of God that you're trying to teach them or some aspect of God So it's a very creative way of doing this and it's called cryptogram Now there is another Plus puzzle you can also show them is something like this, you know to get them to find their way You know Some fun puzzle that is this is also another crossword puzzle that they can do for their memory verse So it's basically the memory verse is taken from the NIV version So if they look at any other version, they're going to get confused with the right words so you can tell them tell them the memory verses from Matthew chapter 5 verse 13 and You have the fill in the blank there and you give them the clues You know as they look into the references they the reference that is there They can find the clue and then you know I mean they can find the fill in the blank Sorry, and then they have clue three clue one and clue two and then they have to just write That here in this the box. Okay, that is given to them. So these are simple puzzles that you can do cryptograms that you can do for children and This can be part of their workbook If it's a printed workbook that you've already made Available to them then this this will already be there in their workbooks, but if not you'll have to you know Get a printed worksheet for them and give them each week and kids will be excited to do these Things because at this age group, you know, basically they can do puzzles They can play math games So then you can use all of this to just Encourage them and get them excited and they love activities and they love to discover things and to do things. Okay so back to our Other presentation So you can use these different kind of word games like Bible puzzles crosswords and cryptograms so basically help them You know Discover what you're teaching them discover some truth or learn their memory verse and it will some it will retain in their Mines, okay They're learning to write Paragraphs and so you can get them to write down like I said what they learned how they're going to apply what they have Learned okay, they can also give you oral reports so you can ask them questions like I said, you know Regarding the truth that you thought or you know the revelry revelations that you have given to them Talked them about they can answer those kind of questions. Okay They're learning to do different kind of work choice both at home even at schools or here in In children's church in the Sunday school, you can get them give them small responsibilities to do they love it And they're very enthusiastic They look forward to helping running around because they're very active in this age group and they're more than willing to help so you can get their help and You know, you can also teach them How to be responsible and you know also teach them how to that they can be useful in helping others both at home and children's church, okay They can play complex games so you can organize Games and activities that are a little more complex compared to the other age groups But need to be careful that you take precautions that they don't fall or hurt themselves Because they can be very excited. They can be a little rash at times. They can hurt themselves. They can hurt others so we need to you know, put Limitations put rules even as we get them to play different games or activities and don't get them to play really You know complex games in terms of You know where they'll exhaust themselves because then they're not going to Listen to what you are going to teach them. They'll be very tired because This age group. They are very energetic. They're very lively. They are very willing to step forward and do All the activities Unlike the older age group where they are little, you know, you have to push them But at the same time this age group, you know, they they get tired also very fast And so you want want them to get so tired that they don't listen to you and they're exhausted that they don't listen to the main Bible Lesson that you have to teach them Okay, but good to start off with the game so that you know, their minds are active and Their bodies are energized and you know, they're attentive. Okay So you can get them to play a little more complex games. They're very good at You know with glue and scissors and all of those things so you can give them a lot of craft activity They like to do a lot of craft activity at this age so you can get them to you know decorate and You know put all these shimmers and you know, do all of those things for bins and everything They just love it. They're very excited. Of course, it will take a lot of time. So maybe you'll have to you know, kind of oversee and Look beforehand how much they can do how much time you have because you don't want to you know, give them all the time Just to do one activity But you can tell them to take it home do it and maybe bring it back next week Or you can just retain it with you and then maybe next week They can continue and finish that activity, but they just basically like to do all of these You know, they're creative for and complex craft activities. Okay. They memorize scripture very well, so You know, you can get them to memorize portions of scripture like someone some 23 some 121 the Lord's prayer of 10 commandments be attitudes They also can memorize the books of the Bible So you can get them to memorize the books books of the Bible the 10 commandments the names of the the disciples You know, what is love first Corinthians? So all of these the fruits of the spirit The gifts of the spirit so you can get them to memorize because it's a good age where You know, they are able to quickly memorize things It's a good age to catch them to memorize because once it's in their Minds, it will never leave them for the rest of their lives. I remember, you know When I was in Sunday school, we had this Bible match and we had we were given a book where we had someone some 23 some hundred some 121 the books of the Bible what is love and You know the the the disciples and all of these things and you know, we had to memorize the 10 commandments And the book had all of these things which we memorized and we had to say it word perfect If we miss out one word, you know, we had to go back and come back We were given three chances and I'm thankful, you know we had this Bible match between the gospel girls and the Bible boys and You know, if you memorize one portion of scripture, you know, we get points and it adds on to the to our team very exciting thing, but the whole You know goal was to get children to memorize scripture and I I just Remember even at the age now I can I can just rattle off all the books of the Bible And it's just so helpful. So it's a good age to get children to memorize. You know, sometimes we think no children This mall they cannot memorize all of these things. No, they it's a good age For them to get them to memorize the books of the Bible and the rest of scripture Okay, they're learning to pray together and individually. So and they're excited to pray they're excited to Pray for each other. So it's a good age also To get them to, you know, begin to pray teach them how to pray If they're shy and they think they cannot pray then you can you know, what I do is I Get them up in front and say why don't use before we start class. Why don't you pray and They're very shy and say come I'll help you to pray So I just you know Let them start and if they struggle like just keep putting a phrase or a sentence in their ear And they listen to me and they pray. So what we're basically teaching them is, you know, it's okay Even if you say that you don't know how to pray you can still learn how to pray you can pray So get them going on that. Otherwise, if they say we can't pray and we let them be then, you know They'll continue on saying we can't pray and they will never learn to pray So just get them up in front or wherever they see that you can sit along with them And they can pray loudly just keep putting, you know, phrases into their ears Even as I'm mentioning all of these things It might you might not be a Sunday school teacher or you might not be teaching a Sunday school class But you know, this will help you even as you have your own children or knees nephews You can just help them in these things you can understand the developmental needs and just help them Okay, they begin to understand historical overview of the Bible so you can give them a little bit of history, you know about You know the Israelites where they were they were in Egypt for 430 years how God brought them Desert why did take 40 years? You know for them to be in the desert Their journey About Canaan why did God ask them to destroy all of the people in Canaan and all of those things so you can give them a lot of Historical overview of the Bible and then they will be able to understand also why the You know when Jesus came and he was the Messiah and why did the people not receive him or accept him as the Messiah so all of these historical Overviews of the Bible you can give them because there They will be able to understand but not in quite in depth So, you know based on how much they can and a child's understanding you can You know communicate to them the historical overview of the Bible now What is a spiritual message they need to hear salvation message so wonderful age for us to You know talk about sin about salvation about Jesus coming to earth why he came and all of those things They are able to understand and they can accept Jesus as their personal Savior because there'll be more than winning moldable at this age they freely receive they freely accept they You know just take what you are telling them and you know you can lead them to accept Jesus as their personal savior The other spiritual messages they need to hear is that God loves them and Everyone else they know and meet God knows God knows all about them and he loves them just like They are God has a wonderful plan for their life. God will never leave them nor forsake them They can trust in God. God is all powerful. He's all-knowing. He's always present He's there with them every time he never leaves them. No forsake them They also need to know that, you know, God is almighty. He's all-powerful There's nothing that that he cannot do and there's nothing they can do to make God love them less Okay Or more he just loves them the same Irrespective of whether they get good marks or not whether they're good in school or not that they're naughty or You know well-behaved, you know God loves them. This is something that they really need to know because You know as they grow into grade four and five, you know Parents bring in a little bit of discipline and sometimes I think that because their parents are disciplining them They don't love them. They don't care for them They are very sensitive So, you know this whole thing about God's love that God loves them There's nothing that they need to do for God to love them more or less and then also the important theological truth that Jesus is The way the truth and the life Okay, because they're relating with their other friends. They're learning about other religions even in their School textbooks. So we need to know that Jesus is the only way to for salvation You know for them to be saved of their sins He's the truth. So the truth is in in the Bible and you know without Jesus, we cannot have life, okay, and They also need to know that they are saved by grace Because of what Jesus has done on the cross And it is true faith by putting faith in Jesus and not by anything that they can Need to do it's because in school, you know, they're their teachers if they're well-behaved children their teachers give them opportunities to to take part in competitions or to be a leader or To do things for them But if they're not well-behaved if they're naughty or if you know if they get Less grades or poor grades and they're not too good in their studies the teacher really puts them down and so, you know They are thinking that, you know, we have to study well. We have to be well-behaved We have to do this we have to do that so that my teacher loves me so that my teacher speaks nice of me So that my parents are not strict with me, but you know, they need to know that God it's they're loved by him Of course, you know, he loves them but not love like does not like or Sad about the sins that they do that truth has to be established in their minds But they are saved by grace and not by work. So there's nothing that they need to do to, you know to be saved just You know exercise their fate and also nothing that they need to do to receive God's love because he loves them unconditionally Okay, then they also can at this age a good age for them to Tell them that, you know, they can share Jesus with their friends because at this age, you know They're very friendly. They like chatting. They like talking and They say things as they just have received it. Okay, because they're not thinking abstract They're thinking concrete. Now. What do I mean by thinking concrete is concrete is, you know Just the way they see things in the physical. Okay, just the way they experience things So if they taste something, you know, just as it is they will just say it if they see something, you know They'll just say it as it is. So Whatever they just receive from their parents, whatever they receive from From you as teachers or mentors or pastors, they will just say it So, you know, it's a good thing for them to just share the salvation message because They are not going to be very conscious or what my friend is going to think about me and things like that As they grow older and you know, seven eight nine tenth grade They're very conscious about what they they say because they know if they say something their friends will laugh at them And it's going to hurt their self value their self esteem So very important that at this age you can get them to, you know Be evangelist in their own way to share the salvation experience Or share the good news about Jesus to others and they will, you know, be very excited To share it and tell others especially their Friends, okay, and also basically what they receive, you know, they will just say it without any without holding back or You know Without thinking twice. So it's a good age for them to share to pray for others to care for others to Minister healing to others even to prophesy to others. I know children in grade four and five in children's church You know, when they receive something in prayer They basically say it even if it's to older people and it's just wonderful They'll just say it exactly like they have received it. So this is the Developmental needs of children in ages three to ten That is standard three to standard five any questions on all of you with me Yes, ma'am. Yes. Okay Okay, so before we move on We just summarized this whole section that we've been looking You know, this age groups that we had looked at yesterday and today You know the younger elementary that is six to nine years old first to fourth standard just to bring in a Little more details or you know draw to a conclusion Mentally or intellectually these children who are six to nine years old who are In grade one to four they live in the present They learn best to creative activities. So it's very important to have attention getters object lessons short quick games puzzles But everything that is very simple and quick. So that's not taking eating into your Bible time So we will look at what object lesson means what the attention getters are when we are learning how to You know write out a lesson plan. They love to learn explore Investigates so they're willing to do anything Any activity any object lesson any game Any puzzle that you're giving to them they think concretely like I said, you know as they see things They will just say You know as they receive in their senses What they see what they hear what they touched what they You know, they taste Exactly, they will just say it exactly. Okay, not they don't think abstract abstractly because abstract means, you know philosophically or They're able to think in a much deeper way these children think very concretely They grow in their language skills both speaking spelling Also writing at this age. They're able to a kind of make a difference between facts and Fantasy we said children in you know who are three and four year old They they're living on a fantasy world. Okay imagine things magical things That is why we have all movies that are so magical for them They love it, but these children, you know, they're learning to Sort out a difference between fact and fantasy. So it's a good age to tell them, you know Difference between both of them Physically they're growing but they're growing slowly. They have a lot of energy And hence because they're very energetic They find it very difficult to sit in one place So you can't have them sit for half an hour or 45 minutes and just listen to you You have to get them to do various things whether turn their Bibles open their Bibles read answer Do a small activity whatever so that's You know something that you need to keep in mind and also even as they are energetic, you know full of energy they get tired very easily So you need to know which activity you need to choose or games that would help them and not tire them Easily spiritually that they enjoy learning at church. They're open to learning about God They also find it difficult to express their feelings. So you need to get them to speak out Or put words to what they are going through They pray easily when they are encouraged to pray Thoughts to pray or you give them some help to pray and they also easily accept what the authority figure tells them So whatever their parents tell them, whatever the teachers tell them, they just accept it They would just do it likewise or they would just share it with others. So it's a good age to You know to mold them to guide them and lead them in the ways of the Lord and the right way Socially they love to have friends best friends they keep changing their friends though They're very loyal to their teachers. They love their teachers. The teacher is very loving caring They love them, you know, very loyal They also this age have developed a sense of right and wrong. So it's good to teach them What are the right things? What are wrong things because the world is telling them something and the parents and The spiritual teachers are telling them something else. So it's good to teach them What is right? What is wrong? They enjoy working in groups so you can have group games and group Activities now to teach this age group the elementary kids that are Standard one to four or ages six to nine You know, what are some things to do to you know, effectively minister to them, you know You need to treat each child as unique individuals each one will be different Okay, we will be learning the learning style next week each child has different learning styles So we need to be sensitive. We need to know what is their learning style and you know, get them to You know understanding their learning style help them not force them to Incorporate other learning styles. Otherwise, you're going to really Demotivate the child the child will not be willing to come to Children's Church. Okay provide activities for Experimenting and exploring because they're very creative. They like to explore things like to learn new things You know make the application very clear and each lesson With learning and application how they can apply because they think well They're willing to do things they're excited to do things to teach them how to apply So when you teach them how to apply even when they go to adult church when they're listening to the sermon They easily, you know, it's ingrained in them. It's part of their system I have to go back this week and I need to apply this why because they have been trained when they're in Children's Church Okay plan activities for each lesson because they love activities and they're full of energy. They can't sit Quiet, you know the all the time They they also are good at reading writing I said that so you can involve those You know skills as well Also avoid any detail work that they have to do, you know, just keep it very simple so that they don't tire easily You know explain to them what is the difference between fact and fantasy Also make prayer and worship a natural part of their time to Gather get them to worship God get them to pray and Also when you minister to them do things in a way that will earn a good respect and their admiration Okay, that they will learn to admire you and love you So when they admire you and love you, they will just do whatever you are telling them whatever you are teaching them, okay, and When you are teaching them speak to them literally, okay Give them the truth because they're able to understand today able to think concretely They take things just as you Tell them don't confuse them. Just tell them things plain simple, but give them the truth They're beginning to find out who they are and what they like So give them different choices in things that they do some child may like games some child may not like games I'm trying may like to Worship God but not do the action some may like to do the action. So, you know, they are creative in choreography Some children may not want to sing because they don't have good voices. Some I like to play instruments You know, some children are just standing there and they're just tapping the table making their own, you know drum beats or Whatever so let them explore their own creative skills give them opportunities To do that You know that these kids love to help so get them to help you whether you're doing a game An object lesson or arranging the tables or the chairs whatever getting things for the class you can just Get them to help you. Okay, and these kids are very very active So they said make sure that ensure that you have a lot of activities. They're very competitive in Nature and they don't like losing games or they don't like losing at, you know An activity when you know, they don't get to the first prize or they lose in a game It really saddens them. It really disappoints them So even as you acknowledge The person who came first, it's also good to acknowledge You know, all of them who participated and maybe, you know, if you're giving a Candy bar or a, you know, a big chocolate to the the person who won you can make sure that you give At least a sweet or a toffee to the rest of them because they get totally Demotivated because they're very competitive in nature So, you know, just have general games don't have competitions But even if you have Bible quiz Bible competitions because you're getting them to learn scripture passages It's good to motivate and tell them it doesn't matter. You know, maybe you lost this time But next time you can really start a learn well You can learn the quiz to memorize the Bible portions and do well next time. So just motivate them and encourage them. Okay These children, you know, if they're worried or unhappy about something, they will just be focused on them They can't they only concentrate on that You know, so Generally don't they don't have the strength to overcome You know, what they're going through their anxiety is their worries or the parent has just shouted at them We're coming to Children's Church shouted at them at home. They just carry that whole thing They'll just be very quiet very they'll be sulking They won't be willing to do any activities So, you know, just get give them their space but also get work with them after class or You know, just motivate them and say I know maybe you look upset or you're angry We don't know what happened. But why don't you just you know, take part in this activity and see what you can learn So just encourage them It'll just you know, motivate them and help them to know that they can they need to overcome their worries and anxieties And then move on to other things as it comes through the day. Okay They generally need help They generally need an adult to help sort out their arguments and disagreements I told you they're very friendly They have best friends, but they change their friends if they get angry with them they change their friends They're learning also accept the differences of others. So at this age group, they get into a lot of arguments Disagreements. So as a teacher, you need to step in help them See things quickly and just move on and get them to be friends again Okay, they might be a little bossy You know Timid brash or sometimes they're very uncertain because of their emotions They might tend to come across very rude to you But you know, you can just handle them with love and teach them what is the right way of behaving What you can do is when they behave like this just listen to what they have to say Encourage them in a realistic way give them little Individual time to think maybe next week when they come back, you know, they'll be better You can pray for their behavior during the week because they need God's help and also time take time to build up a relationship with each Child know, you know, there's strengths their weaknesses where you need to work with it Health just helps you to mentor them guide them Teach them and also, you know Pray for them. So the work of a children's church minister or Sunday school minister is not just teaching the Bible lesson, but it's You know holistic approach where you're going beyond to see what they're going through their emotions their behavior Getting them after class just talking to them hearing them out helping them deal with their things and you know Give a mentoring them in a holistic way Okay So that is like the over all You know needs or What do you say the Developmental needs or who a six to nine year old is or who a Child in grade one to four is what is their needs? How they behave what they look forward to and how you can really help them effectively Okay, any questions Any questions any doubts? Time is up.
