You long to share the gospel with every child and teen you serve in Sunday school, youth group, camp and more.

But how do you accommodate the additional needs of a child who can't hear well, a tween who lashes out physically if they lose a game, or a teenager who struggles to make eye contact? What do you do with all those labels and complicated terms that pop up—like ASD, ADHD or neurodivergent?

Through every short, straightforward chapter, experienced children's minister Sarah Thrift shares practical insights to help you recognise and adapt to the diverse needs of the kids and teens you love. Whether you're serving in a small or large church context, you'll gain…

  • Down-to-earth advice on managing challenging group dynamics
  • Skills for reading kids' behaviour to help you understand what they're struggling with
  • Simple ideas and starting points for making teaching and activities accessible
  • Empathy and greater understanding for kids and youth who face extra hurdles—and their families

Helpful for family and children's ministry volunteers and leaders, this concise guide makes inclusion achievable, supporting you as you connect kids and youth with Christ.
