KID TALK

Ana

It is with regret that we must announce the discontinuation of KID TALK with Ana. After careful consideration, we have come to the difficult decision to bring this program to a close.

While we understand that this news may be disappointing to those who have enjoyed the content provided by KID TALK, we must also acknowledge the importance of managing our resources effectively. Unfortunately, the audience engagement we experienced did not align with the time and effort invested in producing this show.

If you found KID TALK useful, and rather not have it discontinued, share your feedback in comment section below. Let us know what you liked and how we might improve it.

Our Spiritual GPS

OBJECTS: A GPS and a map

How many of you know what a GPS is? GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Many of us have a GPS in our car. If you have a smartphone, you may have a GPS application on it. When you want to go somewhere, you put the address of the place where you would like to go into your GPS, and it will give you turn-by- turn directions and put a picture on the screen showing you how to get there. Isn’t that amazing? How does it do that? Well, first of all, the GPS device must have a map of the area where you are located installed. Then it connects to satellites orbiting the earth and the satellites send back information to the GPS which shows the directions on the screen.

That is amazing, but wait, there is even more. The GPS will help you find your way — even if you get lost. If you make a wrong turn, the GPS will adjust the directions to get you back on the right track. It tells you how fast you are going, how far it is to your destination, and what time you will arrive!

Staying Close

OBJECTS: Locket or a picture of a locket, optional. (Pictures often found in catalogs or newspaper circular ads.) If neither object is readily available, the same concept can be presented by asking if there is a grandparent in the congregation who has a picture of a grandchild in their wallet and is willing to share it.

Imagine traveling at a time when there were no airplanes, no cars, no trains. That is how it was many years ago. People walked or traveled by horseback. They also rode in wagons and carts pulled by oxen, horses or mules.

Traveling was so difficult that when people decided to go on a long journey, they didn’t know if they would ever see their friends and family again. Saying goodbye was often a sad time and also a bit scary. To help them remember and feel close to the people they were leaving, women sometimes wore lockets.

Lockets are usually heart-shaped and hinged so they can be opened. Women put pictures of their loved ones inside the locket and if a picture was not available, they would put some of that person’s hair inside. They wore these lockets on a chain around their neck or pinned to their dress. It was a way of keeping their loved one close to their heart when they were separated by a great distance.

Any time we embark on a new adventure or make a change in our lives, we can feel a bit frightened because we don’t know what might happen. Do you remember how you felt your first day of school? It can feel exciting and scary at the same time. Some kids like to carry a picture of their mom or dad in their pocket on the first day of school so they won’t feel so alone. Sometimes, when we are separated from someone we love, we need something to make us feel more comfortable.

To Guide You

OBJECTS:  ruler, stick of gum or jelly bean

Unless you live in Australia you have probably only seen a kangaroo in a zoo. Or maybe you have read “Winnie the Pooh” and have met Kanga and little Roo. (Show picture if you have one.)

When a kangaroo is born it is only 1/2 to 1 inch long. (Show length on ruler.) It weighs less than a stick of gum or a jelly bean. (Show those objects.)

This tiny, newly born kangaroo, which is called a joey, has no hair and is blind. Can you imagine how helpless it would be?

After the joey is born the mother licks a pathway on her fur to help the baby find the pouch. The tiny kangaroo follows the path and once inside the pouch, is safe and warm. It has everything it needs, including milk, which is squirted into its mouth. The baby has been guided, into the pouch by its mother.
