Do you produce resources for children in their early years of primary school?
We recognize that parents have the primary role of teaching children about these matters. At a younger age, discussions may be initiated by questions posed by the child, and these should be sensitively answered.
‘Marriage God’s Way’ is a small booklet for younger children (from age 6) which explains what the bible teaches about marriage in plain language and with colourful images.
‘Relationships Matter’ is a free to access online resource for teachers to use in Relationships Education from Reception to Year 6.
‘Growing up...Growing wise’ is a resource to help teachers in more detailed discussions from Year 5.
