Lambs of Jesus Flock

Those who love God should feel deeply interested in the children and youth. To them God can reveal His truth and salvation. Jesus calls the little ones that believe on Him, the lambs of His flock. He has a special love for and interest in the children. . . . The most precious offering that the children can give to Jesus, is the freshness of their childhood.

A Child's Opportunity to Experience Childhood

"Stretch your child's powers by giving him an opportunity to express himself in a wide variety of activities. You aren't stuffing him into a preconceived mold of what your son or daughter ought to be. You are helping your child know more about himself and his relationship to those close to him and to the whole world to which he must relate. The creative process that you are aware of, the exposure to so many important, vital experiences, must always be a part of play, of fun, for your child. This is his only childhood."
