I wrote about this here: http://www.childrensministryonline.com/elementary/kid%E2%80%99s-baptisms-post-baptism-summary/

You’re right. Most kids don’t really feel the impact that their sin has on their situation. I became a Christ Follower when I was four. However, I do remember having a transformational moment when I was 11. I was at summer camp and I was at the front of the stage weeping for what seemed like hours. Why? I really felt a responsibility for my sins and I saw what it did to my relationship with God. I was truly sorry for my sin. That was a big deal. We may not be able to help kids experience sorrow for their sins all the time, but I think we can clearly explain how their sin causes significant problems and why the need saving from them.

The hardest part about this is for them to see their sin as a big deal. Sure they can admit they've done wrong, but making the connection to their need for a Savior is hard for me. Kendra Goldens last blog post..Psalm 117

You better not be doubling up on the Believe with the Confess…C is obviously the Choice.

We should have a nightline debate between Children’s Pastors arguing the merits of what C stands for…
