I'm bringing up my two children alone most of the time. When their dad was over last time he had a good talk to our daughter about boys and was very clear about what was permittable and what was not. I totally agree with the clothing issue. I hate this low riding. With the hugging issue and children it is ideal if the parents are there but what about a new 4 year old at Sunday School and they have an accident and need and want comforting. Parents should be close by but they are not necessarily. I've seen this hugging issue being put to extremes in childcare where the caregiver is not meant to hug the child (by law)if the child wants one because the child has hurt themselves. Also there can be cultural issues here. Some culture do hug and kiss each other on the cheek when they greet each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO JOKE...... the kid went up and hugged the teachers aid, and he was arrested for it.... personally, i feel that if a hug is given, it should be initiated by the child, as you said, when in the nursary or day care or a place like that and the child needs comforted, it should be them coming to the teacher/ instructor/ facilitator ...... not the adult chasing after the children to get hugs... anyways........ in this day and age, we all have to remain blameless.... and all it takes is someone that might even be a bit jealous about some one else getting a hug and them not that could cause an allegation..... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pixy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 There seems to be a tendency to allow young people to teach young people, it is seen on these boards there are some posts which I read that are so juvenile that wisdom and understanding just don't enter in.

They ran their own class of Bible Study with 1 adult lady present that was just there in case something not biblical was being taught or discussed. The teens trusted her, my girls were in the class, and they had studies concerning teen pressures and things of the world that they were faced with daily. They were by far the biggest class on Wed. night.Most of them were members of other Churches but enjoyed this class so much they attended our Church on Wed. night. A new Deacon elected to the Church decided this wasn't a good idea and convinced others and they put a stop to it. Many of these teens quit coming all together. It was really sad because they were really learning a lot and had other Christians their age to discuss all the trials and pressures of their life with and to help find the right way to deal with them.

There were afew times that questions arose that she asked the Paster to visit the class for a different outlook on something when there were those who could not agree, But most of the time she handled it beautifully. She was quite knowledgeable of the Bible and was very good with this age group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
