How do children develop? How do we give them the best chance of healthy development? The fact of the ocean of ink spilled on this question has not lessened the actual wonder of this process or the reality of its mystery.
In a presentation filled with stories and examples, Brandon Mullet explores the basic needs of children. Brandon speaks as an administrator, teacher, and parent.
He discusses themes such as:
- Laboring for what is right and fulfilling for children without regard for own reputation and recognition
- Ministering sacrificially to children
- Walking with Christ so we can minister in his love
- Letting children know that we love them and enjoy them and like being with them
This presentation was given over 25 years ago which highlights the reality that these issues are timeless. May you find them illuminating and orienting as you head into the summer and engage with the children in your life as well as reflecting on this past school year.
