Teaching Tip of the Week

You will have fewer discipline problems and your students will learn more eagerly if you show them that you love them. (And it’s just plain the right thing to do!)

I don't know how many times I have heard Dr. James Dobson on “Focus on the Family” say that children spell love T-I-M-E. So spend more than just the club or class hour with them:

• Sending a birthday card is a simple way to let them know you are thinking of them outside of the time you “have to” in the classroom.

• You may find that taking time to pray with a believing child who has a hard time sitting still will help.

• Calling parents just to say you are happy to have their child in club is sure to make it’s way back to the child.
