Accompanying children on their spiritual journey:  Teacher, leader, mentor or guide?

Children interact with many others as they journey with or towards God.  It’s tempting to impose our own expectations of that journey, and sometimes difficult to take a step back as they learn what it means to be a disciple.

If we are to release a child to be all that Godintends him or her to be, how do we accompany children as they discover the wonder and challenges of living with God?  What is the most appropriate role as fellow-travellers with children: teacher, leader, friend, mentor, protector or guide?
