Equipping parents, ministry professionals and lay leaders to skillfully, confidently, and lovingly minister God's Word to children who are hurting, struggling and looking for answers.
We often think children need a completely different approach to counseling than adults. It is certainly true that we need to tailor interactions with them to the development and understanding of the child; we won't talk with and interact with a child the same way we would with an adult. But despite the differences in how we communicate and draw a child out, Dr. Amy Baker's observations, after years of working with children, demonstrate: children struggle with the same desires adults struggle with; they are lured by the same lies adults fall prey to; they find hope in the same source adults find hope - in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As parents, teachers, ministry professionals and lay leaders, we need to be reminded that the answers from Scripture are not too hard for children to grasp. Children need to wrestle with sin and suffering and be led to see a sovereign, merciful God at work in their lives.
