Salt and light Challenge for children
Don’t Leave Just Yet!
Before you go I want to encourage you to challenge those little ones you teach to be salt and light as they go through their daily lives. Here are just a few ways they can be salt and light.
1. Encourage a friend when they are down
Children often feel discouraged because of different situations. Oftentimes, my son gives stories of children in his class that were down, I use those opportunities to help him learn to be salt and light. Emphasizing that when he encourages his friends he is being salt and light. Proverbs said “kind words are like honey.”, thus adding flavor to those they are spoken to.

2. Encourage children to forgive their siblings, friends, etc.
Forgiveness is a critical part of life that when practiced can lead to a much better relationship with others. Not just that’s a requirement from our Heavenly Father.
3. Encourage children to be peer helpers
All children can be peer helpers in one way or another. Use your children’s strength and natural God-given abilities to help their peers as they grow. Teach them how to look for opportunities to help. Example – My son came home and mentioned a child who kept asking him for his eraser borrowed, then he asked if he could carry an eraser for the child. Of course, I didn’t hesitate and it is a simple way to be salt and light, sharing with others around that need help.

4. Encourage children to speak kind and uplifting words to others
This is another simple way to encourage children to be salt and light by the words they say to others and by their responses to words that are spoken to them. It may include you teaching them the right way to respond especially to tricky situations.
5. Encourage children to share the gospel with their friends
This is of course the ultimate goal of being salt and light, that children share their faith in Christ as they grow to know Him more. Yep, there are lots of opportunities that will come up when they can. As you listen to your children when they recount their daily activities look for opportunities where they can consider sharing God’s love.
