Saturday, November 1

Out of the mouth of children and infants, you have brought forth praise.—Matt. 21:16.

 

If you are a parent, help your young ones to prepare comments appropriate to their age. At times, serious matters, such as marital problems or moral issues, are considered during a study, but there will probably be a paragraph or two that a child can comment on. Also, help your children understand why they will not likely be called on every time they raise their hand. Explaining this can prevent them from being disappointed when others are chosen instead of them. (1 Tim. 6:18) All of us can prepare upbuilding comments that honor Jehovah and encourage our fellow Christians. (Prov. 25:11) While we may occasionally offer a brief personal experience, we should refrain from talking too much about ourselves. (Prov. 27:2; 2 Cor. 10:18) Instead, we endeavor to keep the focus on Jehovah, his Word, and his people as a whole.—Rev. 4:11. w23.04 24-25 ¶17-18

Parents, help your children prepare short, fitting comments and remind them they won’t always be called on. All of us should speak to honor Jehovah, not ourselves. Keep comments brief, clear, and focused on His Word — that’s what builds up the congregation.
