The lesson “Competency and Independence” teaches about personal responsibility and the importance of engaging in Biblical and Godly actions. Children verbalize at least five things they can do successfully and responsibly without supervision, as well as at least one way each competency mentioned leads to greater independence. The children will also learn how demonstrating independence also leads to more responsibility. The lesson emphasizes how the Bible guides in making responsible and right decisions while gaining independence in life. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the ninth lesson in the 1st year “Self-Awareness” unit.
