I so loved this list of “job requirements.” Here’s some of mine:
1.When (not if) a child asks you if their pet is going to be in heaven, be able to handle the question with love and encouragement without telling them a lie.
2.Must choose be able to choose words carefully. Don’t say “God loves you more than your parents,” But, “God loves you more than your parents can love you.”
3.Must know your bible and stick to the truth! When asked a million questions and have constant interruptions, don’t give a wrong answer just to keep going with your story.
4.Must not think you did a bad job because you never made it to main teaching. God knows. He’s in control.
5.Must PRAY before the kids start charging in the room. Even if you have to do it in the ladies/mens room!

Hi Tony,
this sure cracked me up! Just to let you that I have downloaded and printed a lot of colouring pages from the site for toddlers in my church and it has realy served us well as we keep the little ones busy from all the chatter, ‘numerous bathroom trips within an hour’ and helped me focus on teaching the older kids Bible lessons.
May the Lord continue to bless the work of your hands and may He encompass you with favourds as with a shield.
You are blessed.

I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard! Thank you..and here are a couple of my own to share:

Able to read upside down…It’s more difficult than you think! (Ms. Darlene! Kelsey’s head is in my way”!)
Have eyes in the back of your head…(to keep “Tommy” from biting “Billy”!)
Able to leap tall toys in a single bound! (to keep “Billy from biting “Tommy”!)
Oh yeah, I work with toddlers!
Blessings!

I especially love the no sense of embarassment — I’ve had kids ask me if I knew Moses personally during children’s time. But you shouldn’t have revealed the secret that we really watch kids shows because we want to — but claim we’re doing it to keep up with what’s current!

I was looking for another article on your site early this morning and ran across this. I have laughed so hard, no one needed a wake up call in this house! Thank you for all of the work you do.

Every now and then I stop and think, “Do I really talk to little kids for a living?” Then some one of my special little girls will should out something like “Am I BALD?” and then all reflection stops and I move on with the lesson plan!
