TE Trainers are Training

Saffea writes that he learned about the Classroom Discipline Plan as facilitator Ryanne Shafer concluded the Constructive Classroom Management lessons.

During the Value of the Child Lesson the participants dramatize Mark 10:13-16..."People were bring children to Jesus to have Him touch them..."

Jesus was teaching his diciple. The disciples rebuke the children BUT

...Jesus said, "Let the children come to me...He took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.”
Christ is not here to stand up for, touch and bless the children. We want to follow His example. We want to be His hands and feet.

Colossians 3:27 "Christ in you the hope of glory."

God's word "is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thourougly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16,17
