12 Leadership Ideas To Do With Your Kidsഉദാഹരണം

Taking Initiative

This idea has two options depending on age of your young person. If they are younger, go out to eat at a restaurant. Once you are seated at your table, have your young person lead the discussion on what everyone wants to eat, then have them do all the ordering when the waitress or waiter comes (you might even ask your young person to remember the name of the waiter!) Through the dinner, have your young person take the initiative to care for all the needs — from refills on the drinks to ordering the dessert. This will require both initiative and courage.

If they are older, have them identify a person who exhibits courage and risk taking skills. Ask them to take initiative to set up an interview with them and ask them what gives them courage. You can go with them, but make sure your young person has a series of questions ready to ask and can take initiative on guiding the conversation.

Afterward, debrief your experience. Whether it was a dinner out or an interview with a courageous leader, discuss what they learned. Talk about why God requires courage from leaders. Look up the story of Joshua, the new leader of Israel, and notice what God said to him as he began his new leadership role.
