Reflection is about looking back and thinking about what you did and how. Through this reflection, you (or the team) come to conclusions about what should be done the same or differently again in the future.

Empowerment has a lot to do with trust, acceptance, personal commitment and empathy. These things can only be partially learned. However, every leader should know what "motivation buttons" there are in relation to children (but also adults). Experienced leaders use the motivators that are appropriate to the situation and person.

This document gives you a little insight into child development, specifically competencies. We often expect too much from our children, or overtax them. Even in the Jungschar work, where we do not see the children every day, it is important to know their level of development.

Children want to have an answer to their questions. Therefore, we adults ourselves must first become clear about what death and eternity mean.

The more Bible knowledge we impart to our children, the better equipped they will be for life. Is that so?
