"Sandy's training is the best I have experienced. What marks her out is a combination of experience and strategic thinking. Sandy has managed to analyse what she does well so that others can replicate it. As a result, her training is clear and also full of colourful, real life stories that illustrate and inspire. The training Sandy delivered to our group of paid Church Children's Workers was by far and away the most helpful we have ever had, and I was delighted that there was a record number of people there to hear it."

"Just wanted to let you know how terrific we are finding Kidswise resources at our church. We've just had our peak tourist season here and almost every week people from all over Australia have made comments about how great they thought the children's talks were... we keep referring them to the Kidswise website!"

"Children of all ages are so captivated by the quick drawing in the Kidswise mini movies - you can hear a pin drop! They are a perfect length, and can be used to sum up a lesson or as a spring board into discussion. In a very visual era these clips speak the younger generation's language and are absolutely gold!"
Rosemary McGowen, Orange District SRE Secretary and Teacher, Orange NSW
You get what you expect. If you have low expectations about people turning up, people will meet your expectations—they won’t turn up.
The most common mistake people make in working with volunteers is thinking that a low bar is the best way to get people onto a ministry team. “You only have to…” “It’s just once every…” “There’s not much preparation…”
The second mistake is thinking that a low bar is the best way of keeping people on your ministry team.
Titles matter, more than we think
A collection of Ten Tips has been formated into a booklet. The Ten Tips aim to equip parents and grandparents in discipling their children/grandchildren. The booklet is available as a free download in Kidswise Membership. Multiple copies of these booklets can be printed in full and distributed for free. Booklets can not be sold for profit.
#1: The conversation between parent and child about sex/sexuality should begin when children are young and continue through to adulthood. The first messages your child hears about sex can powerfully shape your child’s view. So aim to be the first to talk with them about it. Remember, repetition is crucial.
Kidswise Membership will open up a wealth of resources for your children's ministry.
