Children in the Divine Service by Dan at Necessary Roughness.
Dan at Necessary Roughness has a nice piece on "Children in the Divine Service". Read the whole thing here.
The key paragraph is:
Youngsters can participate in worship, but even if they cannot, they are still included. Sometimes they need to be picked up in one arm and LSB in the other arm, and head gestures are used to draw the child’s focus on the music and the text. They will pick up on what’s going on, especially when the service is consistent from week to week. If they don’t, it may be their present God-given office to just listen
BTW: Dan is a Pirate. He has a short program of Readings and Hymns on Pirate Christian Radio (Thursdays at 11am, Central) . You can get his podcast at Necessary Roughness or listen on Pirate Christian Radio.

Pastor Watt, thanks for the bump. I also listen to God's Word for Today on iTunes -- the HAL firewall doesn't let me stream it on PCR.
Peace!
