welcome

One of the responsibilities of a parent is to guide their children on a spiritual journey that introduces them to their Creator. Sound intimidating? It is! ALL parents face challenges and need sources of inspiration, encouragement, and plain old help. So here is a way for you to connect with and build on what your children are learning in kidSPACE. Use it to expand on your ideas, skills and influence as a parent....kidSPACE konnections!

Confessions of a Children's Director

Being a children’s director at a church does not ensure that you are the perfect parent (surprise, surprise). In fact sometimes I think the odds are against me. Let’s just say that some days I am glad there are four walls around my home that are pretty soundproof. Whether I'm dealing with a temper tantrum, trying to encourage independence, or figuring out how to answer tough questions there are many days where I wish I could just talk to someone or pick up a book and find the answers to all my questions. So I'm hoping we can use this blog to connect with resources that will encourage and inspire us in our everyday lives. There will be book reviews, guest bloggers, info about what's going on in kidSPACE, and thoughts of encouragement. Not to mention that one of the best resources we have is each other! So there will be opportunities for you to contribute as well. All of the lessons we are learning as parents are worth sharing. After surviving (we have to make it sound good) the earthquake and hurricane Irene, we could probably use a little encouragement. So here’s your first sharing opportunity: What is one of your greatest joys of being a parent?
