Dog Days of Summer


Ever wonder how kids navigate the challenges of summer? Discretionary time, less supervision, less structure.

There’s an easy answer. How do you- as an older Christian- tend to do under similar, grey boundaries?

Yep.

Keep the one-on-one touches strong throughout the summer and pay special note to the non-verbal responses from students. Leading questions can be as simple or invasive as these:

  • How’s your summer going?
  • Ready for school yet?
  • How’s your private life coming along?
  • What’s one area that I can be praying for you?
  • What is your family doing this summer?
  • What books are you hoping to read?
