Holy Listening With Children
On-going (20-40 minutes a session)
What is Holy Listening?
- A place where children receive undivided attention as they express themselves about the experiences of their lives.
- a “soul friend” someone who helps children recognize and respond to the presence of God, to what is good, beautiful, and life-giving.
- Confidential. We will never reveal what your child says to anyone unless it is for his or her own protection. (As mandated by law)
- Safe. We observe accepted practices that ensure the child’s safety whenever they talk with us.
With the Spirit as the true Listener, and the child as the center of attention, a Holy Listener becomes a soul friend with whom children can talk and share.
A Holy Listener is present with undivided attention as the child expresses themselves about the experiences of their lives. The Holy Listener serves as a witness to the child’s thoughts and feelings and then helps the child recognize and respond to the movement of God in their lives.
Through this process a Holy Listener supports children as God helps them build a meaningful life out of their own experiences. Each session last around 20 minutes or more, depending on the age of the child and the circumstances they face. The child, the parent/guardian and the Holy Listener will determine how often they meet.
Although confidentially and safety are of the utmost importance, Holy Listening is not counseling, psychotherapy or a “fix it” methodology. However, if abuse is suspected or the child is a danger to himself or others, the Holy Listener will notify the authorities as required by law.
