1. Know your Mission- Establish the mission for the week. What one
thing do I want the kids to walk away with? Pretend you are
parent picking your child up and you ask, What did you learn in
church today? Whatever should be in that blank thats your
mission. If they forget everything else, what should they
remember?
2. Strategy- How am I going to get that mission communicated?
3. Structure- Lessons should be segmented. The segments should
be somewhat predictable, but creative. Each segment should
point to the mission.
4. Plan B- Know your Plan B. What will you do if the technology
doesnt work? If a child needs to get to the backroom? What will
you do if a child gets sick or has a behavior issue?
5. Pray- Without ceasing as you lead, teach, speak, as they
watch a video!
Dealing with a Behavior Issues in Your Small Group
Establish a process as a Childrens Ministry. Understand the importance
of having 2 adult leaders in the room. The teacher should not need to
deal with behavior. The 2nd adult should be managing behavior
The Seven Steps of Grace Model
1. Make eye-contact with the child
2. Leader moves to close proximity to the child who is causing
distraction
3. Leader gently tap shoulder of the child, put finger to lips,
and point to speaking teacher
4. Tap on shoulder and quietly say, God is saying something
to us today, and your friends around you might need to
hear it. So I need you sit still and be quiet so they can hear
what God wants to say.
5. Take the child away from the group and repeat the
message, Listen, God has brought us here today to hear
from Him. Its important that even if you dont want to
listen to that, that you dont be a distraction for other
children who do want to hear what God has to say. If you
dont stop, I am going to need to tell your parent/s. Return
to group.
6. Take the child away from the group and remain with the
child, separated from the group, until the parent arrives. Be
certain to follow through by informing the parent of the
specific behavior and the steps you took at pick-up time.
7. If you reach step 6 with a child subsequent weeks, ask the
parent to come join you to be part of the solution.
