Abstract

Christian religious education in the family is one of the main foundations in shaping children’s faith and character. However, in reality, there is often tension between the expectations of Christian parents and the psychological reality of children. On the one hand, many parents expect their children to be obedient, diligent in worship, and behave in accordance with Christian values. On the other hand, children are in a stage of psychological development that requires acceptance, emotional support, and even a sense of security for the children themselves. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of Christian faith education in family life, highlighting the tension that occurs between parental expectations and the psychological condition of children, and offering a balanced, sustainable, and humanistic approach to Family PAK. The method used was qualitative, using a literature study approach to various scientific literature related to Family Religious Education and Child Development Psychology. The results of the study showed that religious education that is too authoritarian or normative in children’s daily lives has the potential to make children less creative and raise them in a rigid pattern so that sometimes children are less able to express themselves freely. Therefore, Christian Religious Education in the family needs to reinterpret and integrate Christian faith with an understanding of child psychology so that the process of shaping a child’s faith can take place in a holistic, relational, and sustainable manner and fulfill the objectives of Family Religious Education

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of disability-friendly churches as inclusive educational spaces capable of reaching everyone, including children with special needs, in church life. This study employs a qualitative method, specifically a literature review, by examining various relevant journal articles on this topic. The results of the study indicate that the church bears moral, spiritual, and social responsibilities to serve as an ecosystem capable of welcoming every child without discrimination. Theological foundations regarding God’s love, the dignity of humanity as the image of God, and the example of Jesus’ ministry to the marginalized or those on the fringes of society form the very foundation for building an inclusive or disability-friendly church ministry. The reality on the ground shows that children with disabilities still face stigma, limited access to services, and a lack of attention to their growing faith education needs. Given this, the church should provide adaptive and down-to-earth ministries through an inclusive curriculum, pastoral care, training for church leaders, and fostering the involvement of parents and the wider community. A disability-friendly church is not merely an expression of social concern but an integral part of the tangible manifestation of Christ’s love, which embraces all children as precious individuals regardless of their background.
