You stop for some interstate fare and prepare to get back on the road. It will be a long drive, so you strongly encourage the child traveling with you to make a visit to the restroom.

Children can be relentless in addressing their urgent needs.
In their minds these situations simply cannot be ignored. These strong feelings as though you might explode have a laser sharp focus and direction. The child, in these cases, is goal oriented. Sharing the faith in age appropriate ways taking a longer developmental view makes good sense for a Lutheran school or center. Our conversations and meetings seem, however, to weigh heavily on resources, materials and curriculum.
