Out Of Control Kids

MBASS · #1 (**permalink**) 05-25-2006, 01:07 PM

Does anyone else have to deal with out of control primary children!? I teach achievement girls and they are wild banshees. They run through church, scream, hit eachother, etc. Plus the parents dont care! I spoke with the primary presidency and they said the whole primary is like that! What is wrong with these parents?! My mom woulda beat my lil you know what if I ever thought about misbehaving at church sunday, wednesday, or any day!

Our RS President gave a talk in RS last Sunday on reverence. We have over 100 2 and under children in our ward. After the sacrament is passed you might as well take a nap, if you can over the racket. She encouraged them to use the 3 second rule. If you child is making noise for more than 3 seconds take them out. If that doesn't do it I am going to move to an area where there are a bunch of old people with no children.

There you go. Once I can get my walker out of the backseat of the car I will be shuffling my way to that building. Thanks for the offer.

From a very young age, as soon as a child can understand speach, they should come to know that God loves us and what He expects of us. You dont have to go into a sermon about it. Just tell them Jesus is happy when you do this, or Jesus will feel sad if you do that. Keep it simple.

Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Yes that would work if the parents backed me up! But they dont care what their kids do! ARGGHH! I guess I will train my kids better!

Oh My Gosh, Josh ~ I thought my Sis was the one who "coined" that phrase. She really is in a ward like that. There are no Young Men and Young Women or Primary children at all. Once a child is 3 the entire family is moved into the Family wards.

My husband and I are looking for a NearlyDead ward/branch. The children in our ward are so loud and disruptive we really can not hear what is being said from the pulpit. We aren't the only ones either ~ I see most of the older members sitting forward and straining to hear. It would be so easy for our stake to form a NearlyDead ward. We have more High Priests than Elders!

Quit then. Jesus tells us that we are to follow HIM and not caste pearls to swine. If they arent serious about serving God then you shouldnt have to enable their children's bad behavior. Let one of them take over and see what its really like.
