	POLICY ON HIV/AIDS & HEPATITIS Kidology Network Forums member PJWings writes: "Our church has been discussing whether or not we should put restrictions on persons with HIV/AIDS or Hepatitus. Do you have any restrictions against allowing infected persons to volunteer in your Children's Ministry?" » Share the perspective of your church


	A NEW WAY TO LOOK AT PARENTING Karl Bastian, the Kidologist, writes this about the book, Parenting is Heart Work: "Many parents are focused on getting their children to behave - but miss the heart. In the end, they often raise kids who know how to 'act' but not how to 'be.' This book will equip you to raise kids whose obedience is an overflow of their love for God." » Now available in the Kidology Store
