Grappling With Authority

Grapple is the name of the curriculum we use for 5/6 grade students. Each week they "grapple" with a Biblical truth and the way it connects to real life.

Here's this week's connection:

Grapple Question:
Why do so many people boss me around?
Students Learn:
God puts people in charge.
Dig Into The Bible:
Romans 13:1-5
1Peter 2:13-17

Has your child ever seen you after a bad day with the boss, or after you received a speeding ticket? How do you respond to those in authority over you?
Help your child understand that even adults have to obey people who are in charge! Set an example for your child of respecting those whom God has put in authority. In your own home, work with your child to come up with a few rules that you both find fair - that way your child can feel some ownership in the rules and wont feel so bossed around.
