Child Development

About this ebook
Modern researches in Child Development realize that there is presently a very strong move of institutions and commercial establishments that target the children and play a big role in their intellectual and emotional development. Most of these influences are chiefly stumbling blocks to sin. They lure the kids into a world-trap of unethical and confused lifestyle. The negligence of parents to guard and discipline the kids due to false concepts introduced by some psychologists in the postmodern decades has made more room for havoc as far as child development is concerned.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT is one attempt to provide some important tools in understanding the position of a child in God’s Kingdom, family, society, and nation. It contains four essays, a mini-article, and a couple of poems that deal with such topics. It deals with issues such as Parenting, Education, Cognitive Development of Child, Children at Risk, and Child Theology

PREFACE
The Bible teaches us that the primary responsibility for the development of children belongs to the parents. It even stipulates that a man who is not responsible towards his children and has been a failure as a parent at home is not fit to be appointed as an elder or leader in the Church (Titus 1:6; 1 Timothy 3:4,5). In other words, if he has not been able to fulfill his primary responsibility at home, he is not fit for the responsibilities in Church and society. Modern researches in Child Development realize that there is presently a very strong move of institutions and commercial establishments that target the children and play a big role in their intellectual and emotional development. Most of these influences are chiefly stumbling blocks to sin. They lure the kids into a world-trap of unethical and confused lifestyle. The negligence of parents to guard and discipline the kids due to false concepts introduced by some psychologists in the postmodern decades has made more room for havoc as far as child development is concerned. Therefore, it is crucial for parents, and Christian ministers and educators as well, to pay close attention to the principles of child development and do the best to help the kids grow healthily.
This book is one attempt to provide some important tools in understanding the position of a child in God’s Kingdom, family, society, and nation. It contains four essays, a mini-article, and a couple of poems that deal with such topics. Two of the essays were published in two different books edited by Dr. J. B. Jeyaraj of Jubilee Institute, Chennai. One is forthcoming in the second volume of a Holistic Child Development series he is editing. The first essay was originally a devotion delivered during the Bihar 4/14 Window Consultation Pre-Summit in 2010. It was later published in the Contemporary Christian journal by the Center for Contemporary Christianity, Bangalore.
It’s my hope that the book will prove to be a help in this field of Child Development.

SYSTEMS OF OFFENCES AND LEADERS OF CHANGE
Published in the CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN, Bangalore, March 2011
Text: Matthew 18:1-14
This excerpt from Christ’s earthly conversations has an intense outflow of emotions and light. The question that is posed is significant. But, far more significant is Christ’s elaboration of the problem at hand. He begins by answering the question of true greatness and then tracks down into an agonizing analysis of the world-problem that nips that same greatness in the bud. For, the child is certainly the sacred model of greatness, but the child is sooner going to reach the age when he has to look back to his childhood for a recovery of that child-like innocence again. At this 4/14 Window Pre-Summit, I believe it is apt to reconsider the roots of our world that shape the consciences of the next generation.
True Greatness
When the disciples asked Jesus Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Jesus did not point at Alexander the Great, or to Augustus Caesar, or to Plato or Aristotle. He brought in a child into the midst of them and said "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the
