Consideration

Read about David’s selfish treatment of Uriah, build a chain reaction of toppling dominoes, launch toy cars down a racetrack, and explore more ways to help kids learn to be considerate of others.

Dive into this lesson on consideration for fun ideas to help kids:

  • consider how their words and actions will affect others
  • express genuine concern for others
  • adopt the same others-centred approach to life that Jesus had.

You’ll also find this lesson helpful for curbing impulsive and insensitive responses, and for stamping out a habit of teasing others or purposefully making others upset.
