Lots of what we teach the kids is not from the "stage" but in our conversations "off stage." By that I mean, lessons taught when you're not in presentation mode are sometimes the most important. So make it spiritual. When a kid comes to you feeling sick, don't just get them water; heal them in the name of Jesus. When a child tells you of trouble they're having with a bully, don't just give them advice; ask them how they can love and minister to the bully. When they are misbehaving, don't just correct the behavior; direct them toward a desire to please God with their decisions. Every part of life is spiritual. We need to remember that. We especially need to remember that when talking with the kids of stage.
