Can we get an "Amen"?

“Children spend much of their time with peers, whisked away from the worship service to kids’ church or sent off to youth group while their parents do a Bible study.

And even when different generations are physically together, not all adults feel comfortable—or permitted—to meaningfully engage kids who aren’t their own. Communal discipline is no longer the norm,” writes Nadya Williams.

“But our children need intergenerational relationships, and not only for healthy growth in social skills.”
