Egg Shells? - FAMILY PLUS Children's

Pain...it's a real thing to a child. Even pain caused by friends is real. I try to stay up to date on what's happening with our children developmentally and the trend I continue to be aware of is that children are becoming more aware of social pain at younger and younger ages. They understand that people can hurt them emotionally.

This is the truth we have to deal with daily. In your relationships you are aware of this. That's why you hate and avoid conflict or why you choose to "walk on egg shells" around certain people. You know that life situations put people on edge and that your actions/words can contribute to more social pain or create the initial social pain. We don't want to be a part of that for people. 

What we want to be a part of is the healing of pain. Unfortunately, you heal differently than I do. I may heal slower than you do. There is a common denominator to the healing process for all people...Jesus Christ. He is the healer, the medicine, the doctor, and the comforter. His way of healing is sufficient. He needs nothing else. So don't push people through their healing process; Point them to the correct way to heal. That's exactly what we will be doing in Kidstuf this week. May Christ heal us all!
