Socks for Tots is a sock drive in cooperation with Crossfire Ministries, LifeNetwork, and the Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center to benefit young children. The kids in our 2-year old class are starting to learn how God loves people and how He wants us to do the same.
The Nursery touches lives for eternity and plants the seeds of faith. We want the blessing and love of God to be a reality for all those involved in our ministry. How do we do this?
Take a snuggle break when you get home from work. Set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes, then curl up with your child and read a book together or just listen to her talk about her day. That way, you'll both get some needed bonding time before you have to go make dinner.

More than two options can overwhelm a toddler. So offer a limited range of choices: "Do you want to wear the blue shirt or the red one?" The key is quantity control.
