What Do Children Need?
By Lowell Brook
“Children need to light a candle, and... enjoy its mystery. They need to sing, to hear their voices joined together, and to feel the feelings that are stirred by music. They need to hear a story and have a chance to share their own. They need to create something. Expressing themselves, whether using words or materials, helps to bind the different parts of ourselves and life together.
That’s what religion is... They need to be with an adult... who is glad to be with them and regards them positively.”
