Church benefits kids
Religion does seem to be good for young children. The religious attendance of parents and a cohesive religious environment in the home yields significant benefits for children’s behavioral, emotional, and cognitive development, and such outcomes are most pronounced when both partners attend services frequently.”
Early Childhood Longitudinal Study by researchers at Mississippi State University
Article from Rick Warren’s Ministry Toolbox — Church is good for children.
That’s the message of a new study that says young children of churchgoing parents fare better behaviorally, emotionally, and cognitively than do children of parents who never attend church. In fact, the more often the parents attend, the better off the kids are.
Nice.
Isn’t it great when the world throws an issue under the microscope and finds out what we already knew?
Gods word works!
And that’s why it’s important for parents to be consistent in bringing their kids to church.
Faith comes though hearing and hearing through the word of God. So we have kids leaders diligently prepearing a message, going to incredible efforts to make that week vibrant and some kids will only get to attend every few weeks.
It’s a great study to encourage parents in regular church attendance.
