January Focus

The Faith in God program helps children ages 8 through 11 to set and achieve goals (such as gospel living and learning the Articles of Faith. A member of the Primary presidency should sit down with the child and his or her parents to explain the program to them.
Teachers should then hold periodic interviews with individual children to help them select and plan goals (and how they'll accomplish them) and listen to experiences the children had in striving to accomplish the goals.
When a child completes the program, a member of the Primary presidency meets with the child to discuss the achieved goals. A member of the Primary Presidency then presents the Faith in God Award in Primary opening or closing exercises. Some wards have the Bishop present it in sacrament meeting.

What are some of the barriers that you have as a presidency to accomplish the introduction and follow-up activities below? What ideas do you have for other presidencies on supporting the kids in creating and completing their goals?
