How to Build Connection
Practical tools to build and maintain connection with your children—at home, at church, and even in the busiest ministry moments.
Connection is more than just affection or being present. You need to proactively build connection, just like you do already with your friends.
Develop a language of connection
One of the most powerful things you can do is to build a language of connection with your children so that they can recognise and name when they feel disconnected from you. Discover what language works for you and once they have that language you can use it to problem-solve how they are feeling.
Growing connection in the midst of ministry
Your children need to know they are connected to you everywhere you are together – at home or at church. You can help your kids learn how to access connection with you in the midst of ministry, and you can learn how to grow connection with your kids right in the middle of the busiest service. The aim is to create a steady flow of connection so your kids never stop feeling connected to you, even when you are busy with your job.
Gary Chapman’s love languages
Identifying which love languages your children have helps you to proactively build connection with each one separately. As they grow and change, you can adapt, so that you know that in the midst of your ministry you can always connect with them.
