TALK TO YOUR STUDENTS<br />
No matter what your Sunday looks like, make sure that you do not overcrowd your<br />
schedule to the point that you don’t have any time to greet each child and simply talk to<br />
them. Talking to your students can range from a conversation about their dog or favorite<br />
sports team to something as simple as asking how their week has been.<br />
Don’t underestimate the power of a simple conversation. It will open the lines of<br />
communication between you and the students, letting you get to know them personally<br />
and letting them get to know you. Most importantly, these conversations will help<br />
create a safe, loving, and relaxed environment for your students, letting them see that<br />
you’re approachable and excited to have a role in their lives.<br />
For a good conversation to take place, we need to be curious about the lives of our<br />
children. Just like tourists or missionaries go to a foreign place and they’re intrigued and<br />
fascinated by the people whose language, traditions, and way of life they don’t<br />
understand, we need to be fascinated by the children we minister to.<br />
Each child is their own unique universe and one of the best ways to explore this new<br />
territory is by asking thought-provoking, yet unthreatening questions.<br />
Here are some examples:<br />
What is your favorite hobby or game? How and why did you start this hobby?<br />
What do you like the most about being a 5th grader?<br />
What do you hate the most about being a 5th grader?<br />
What is your favorite gadget? Why?<br />
