Session: Physical Growth in Children

Preparation

• Gather paper and pencils for your participants to use during the session.

Reflect and Practice

1. Open the session with fellowship and prayer.
   
   
2. Distribute paper and pencils to the participants.
   
   
3. With a copy of the article, ask participants to answer silently each question with their specific children in mind. For example, "What percentage of the children in your group are obese?" "What is the typical physical growth of the children in your group?"
   
   
4. As a group, look through the questions to see if your children differ from the general statements in the article. Are any boys and girls experiencing physical problems? If so, are the parents aware of the problems? If not, how can you minister to these parents?
   
   
5. Close the session with a time of prayer for these specific children as well as the physical growth of all of your children. Remind your participants to read the article(s) for the next session.
