During the month of February, let’s take some time as children’s ministry leaders to acknowledge this month’s elephants in the room—Love, Relationships, and Dating (and maybe even sex). Valentine’s Day and the onslaught of media, eye candy, and actual candy that comes with it tend to consume our culture. The kids we are responsible for leading are, no doubt, already soaking everything in and using that to lay a foundation for what they believe about relationships, dating (and yes, even sex one day). The parents we are responsible for equipping are often too paralyzed to enter into these conversations with their kids or too naive to think they need to yet. That’s why we are taking the opportunity with this month’s coaching video to provide you with some tips on how to handle this important topic as a children’s ministry leader. And it all starts with helping the kids in our ministries understand what healthy relationships look like. How kids learn to handle the key relationships in their lives will chart their course with relationships (even romantic ones) for years to come. We have the opportunity to help shape what they believe and to help their parents be better equipped to step into these conversations in healthy and helpful ways.
