How Do We Enable/Equip children to “love your neighbor as yourself”?
- practice and encourage the “one another”(s) you find in scripture
- loving your neighbor as your self ie. what would you want …?
- I Cor. 13 qualities of love
- respecting others : please/thank you, gentle, look & listen - respecting people’s space
- learning to listen and hear what someone's saying
- posters, magazine picture collages, visuals, videos, of lots of different kinds of people, places,
- guided discovery: exposure to culture, geography, people, different foods, clothes, music, etc.
- games
- free time to interact and build friendships
- supervised group activities (structured and unstructured)
- serving, giving, helping, sharing, graciously receiving
- participation in intergenerational family and community life
- building relationships in your neighborhood and school
- building relationships with people who aren't like you
- participating in activities outside of church with kids who may not believe what you believe, making friends and having these people to your house for a meal
- learning when to say "no"
- learning to respectfully disagree
- parents sharing ideas and using each other as resources
[The ECC has projects for kids that enable them specifically to give to kids in countries that are hurting]
