Relational Thinking

It is at this stage that children learn to fit past events in sequential order. Maps and time charts help students place Bible stories and church history stories in order: Abraham was before Moses, and Moses before David.

Working with juniors means working with their parents. It is difficult for a teacher to build discipline in a child’s life if the child is undisciplined at home. There is greater emphasis on the role of the father at home. He is the spiritual head who can give the child direction and guide his loyalty to Christ. The father is also someone whom the child can admire, and who can provide security through discipline, and be an example of serving the Lord and depending on Him. Sunday school teachers can supplement but not supplant the role of Christian dads at home.
