Attached is an article from Focus on the Family. I hope you will read it to the end. It is actually written for parents but I think there is some good advice in there for children’s ministry workers too. This is what I took away from the article.
- Having a set routine in your services HELPS highly sensitive kids. All kids but especially the sensitive ones like the predictability of a set routine.
- Keep good order in the class. Don’t let the kids get “rowdy”. Make sure there is some consequence for disruption and follow through, even if it means from time to time a child has to go and sit with their parents.
- Make sure the worship time engages the kids. This is why we come to church – to engage with God. Ask the kids what they perceived God was saying to them. You may be surprised what they tell you.
