We don't need to be experts on child development when it comes to children’s ministry, but it is helpful to have a level understanding regarding the children God has entrusted to us. This workshop provides a broad overview of how children develop from the toddler years through preteens, exploring how they think, learn, communicate, and grow at each stage. Discover how developmental differences shape the way we teach God's Word, build relationships, establish expectations, and faithfully minister to children at every age and every stage.
