Children need support necessary for them to make it through. How can we help?

Creating an environment for children to understand the Bible through play and other activities.

This children can learn to love themselves, to have confidence is the inner healing necessary.

Why should we do it? It helps them reconnect the wounded, and to be able to discover the root of

their fears, anxiety and insecurities. As they grow out of their uncertainties, they will make a

difference to children who may have similar struggles they once had in the past.

Overall, as a result I have learned is to never give up on children, be positive or carry a

positive attitude. ​I have learned the importance of community and the impact it has on children

in classrooms. It is important that children learn how to be involved in community and if we

work together as one, we can get a lot more done. Apply the Word of God in their lives as

well.Socialization can help minimize prejudicial attitudes as well. It increases a positive

intercultural contact and perceptual differentiation. What we instill in children’ minds as teachers

in a positive way can excel to higher standards for themselves and this will help them how to live

accordingly as a community. A community of compassionate, loving and acceptable

environment.

There was a study assessed the relationship between Bible literacy among secondary school

students and their academic achievement and school behavior. One hundred and forty students in

the 7th to 12th grade were randomly selected from a Christian school. Four measures of Bible

knowledge were combined to obtain an overall measure of Bible literacy. They included a brief

Bible test, the ease with which students declared that they could recite the 66 books of the Bible
in order, the final grade from the last Bible course taken, and the results of previous Bible

testing. The results indicate that of the three groups of students, those with the highest level of

Bible literacy also had the highest average GPA. the highest ranking in test and grade results, and

the best school behavior of the three groups. In contrast, those with the lowest level of Bible

literacy also had the lowest average GPA, the lowest ranking in test and grade results, and the

worst school behavior of the three groups (Jeynes, 2009).
