Acceptance

Host a teddy bear tea party, play Sardines and learn to mimic God’s inclusive love for everyone

At times, siblings find it hard to obey God’s call to “love your brother.” Loving those who are noticeably different can be even more difficult. Almost unconsciously, kids withdraw from that unfamiliar “otherness.” The ideas at the links below will help you build a set of lessons that delight kids and at the same time encourage them not to fear or judge differences. Instead, they’ll learn to accept and embrace individual uniqueness in appearance, ability, culture and preferences. And they’ll also learn not to judge a muffin by its sprinkles!
