I have always come from churches that had sunday school for children, but the idea of family integrated worship makes sense to me. My main question is, how do you train a child to sit still during worship?
We have a 20-month old son. He is a wonderful, creative, ACTIVE little boy. It's difficult to get him to sit still for 15 minutes when he can read a book, talk, etc., let alone sitting still for a sermon. What recommendation would you have for making a transition? Obviously, working with him at home must be a priority. How do you train them during the service? How do you get over the worry of distracting other people, especially when there are classes for children?
