A single Children’s Pastor just can’t offer any help for parents, Right? This is a common sentiment, but is it true? I submit to you that it is not true. This notion is based on some concepts that seem logical until they are examined in greater detail. Upon further examination, a single Children’s Pastor actually can help parents raise their children.
The first misconception that must be overcome is that parents understand other parents. This does makes some sense. After all, once a parent has experienced certain stages in raising a child, it is easier for them to relate to other parents. Does this, however, mean that one parent automatically understands how another parent feels about a given subject? Is it an automatic conclusion that one parent would react in the same manner as another parent or subscribe to the same beliefs regarding parenting issues? My experience with many parents tells me that is simply not the case. I have had discussions with many successful parents on a number of topics. They all have varying ideas and opinions on topics ranging from what time a child should go to bed to what movies a child should be allowed to watch. There seems to be no “one-size-fits-all” approach to parenting. If this is the case, why would we assume that one parent can understand how another parent feels about varying topics?
