I want to take my son to a good sunday school

Hello, I hope I can help you in someway with the concern for your son. Your desire is to want to take him to a good sunday school. But the situation you have is that he doesn't stay in the sunday scool class. However, his age is not mentioned. So it is kind of hard to know whether it has anything to do with his age. Of course, it is true that parents are the first teachers for their children. But I'm thinking if you are feeling uncertain about the sunday school class yourself. So I'm suggesting if you wouldn't mind sharing a little further. I'm just wandering if it might have something to do with him not feeling comfortable in the class room. One suggestion is maybe you can set in one time during sunday school class and see how your son responds to the teacher, and to see what is being taght. This may give you some insight on how you can help your son somehow. It's just a thought. So I hope this helps. I been a sunday school teacher for quite a long time. So I really would like to help in solving this issue. May God guide you in directing your son. Thank you.

Hi Ruby, I thank God for moms like you who wants to bring their children in the Word of God. As the bible says "train your child in the way he should go when he is old he will not depart from it:. "Discipline your son and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart:. Instilling God's word into your son's life is a task you cannot rely on your son's sunday school teacher to do. She cannot take your place as your son's first teacher. If you want to raise a godly child you must take the time out of your busy day to talk to him about God and to pray with him and for him. You are a more effective teacher for your son than any sunday school teacher combined. When I was a child my dad would always sit me in his lap and read to me stories from the bible. He taught me so many things about God's words and I knew these things even before I went to sunday school because dad made sure to bring me up in a godly Christian way. Looking back I am so grateful to dad for taking time out of his busy schedule to teach me those things. What he has planted in my young life is now bearing fruits. It has kept me from going astray. So for me it is very important for a parent to take the time to teach their children the ways of God. I understand that you are a busy person and I know most times you have too much in your hands that you don't have time for anything even for yourself. BUt there is one thing though I'd like to say, have you asked God to help you with your day? Sometimes we try to do too much but it is not really that important or necessary and as a result we clutter our lives with many to do lists and it makes our life pretty hectic. And if you really are so busy ask God to give you the strength to accommodate time for your son for I know that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.

I think it's wonderful that you are sharing your love and devotion to God with your son. Depending on how old your son is, sitting still for a bible study might be a bit tough. Maybe you could do some outdoor activity before it so he gets some enegy out like running around a park or playing catch. That way he may be able to focus on God's word better. Don't worry, God understand little ones and he is so patient, he'll understand that your little boy has trouble being still. My parents gave me a great faith in God and they did it abit every day and I am sure you can do the same. Maybe try and say his prayers with him every night before he goes to sleep if you can so he sees how important it is. Or if your schedule doesn't allow that, maybe a morning prayer before breakfast? Take good care, my friend and be well!!

It's your job to teach your little guy about God. Sunday School is one way, but certainly only one. You need to be teaching him all the time, every day, as the two of you spend time together. Deuteronomy 11:19-21 says about God's ways "Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates so that your days and the days of your children may be many..." While this was written in the OT, it still stands as good advice today. Tell your child about God as you drive in your car. Buy him Bible story books and read them to him. Get some Bible story tapes and play them for him. Surround him with God and the Bible. Make it the way you live your life!

My children were mostly like that when they were young. What I did was I stayed with them for some time in class until they are no longer afraid to be left at home. You are doing the right thing by bringing them to Sunday school. That is the right path. Just be patient and pray that God will guide him.

When I was younger I used to do the same thing. It wasn't that I didn't want to hear someone teach the Bible, I just didn't want to have to be away from my parents because I felt more comfortable with them. I don't know if this is what your son is having a hard time with, but if he is anything like me he will grow out of it eventually it will just take some time and patience on your part. God is faithful and He will give your son the teaching that he needs. Just keep trusting Him.

How old is he? I know that my friend's younger brother used to do that a lot until he got a bit older (then he loved it!). If he's still pretty young I wouldn't worry about it, he'll grow out of it.
