Description

You will need no convincing that your children are wonderfully made. But there are a whole heap of challenges that come with caring for young children—tiredness, loneliness, boredom and relationship stress to name a few.

Wonderfully Made is a short burst of encouragement for you as you face life with little ones. As part of a group at your local church, you'll be stimulated to share the burdens and joys of parenting with others, and to support one another in the important job of caring for, and raising small children.

And as you think about how to survive and thrive, you'll also be introduced to some bigger questions about God and life.

The seven sessions in this handbook are designed to be used with the Wonderfully Made DVD.

If you have run a Toddlers' Group, you will know that one of the big challenges is how to make them more than a fun morning for the children. Mary Winter has provided us with an easy way to start a discussion about how God has "wonderfully made" us. They show that none of us is here by accident, even though we might have been a surprise to our parents! 
I wish this course had been around when I was beginning my parenting journey.

Author and conference speaker

Toddler groups present a small but significant window for bridge-building with the local community, but so much more could be done with and for people at this most vulnerable and insecure period of their lives—and that is just the parents. This brilliant collection of short, sensible and practical sessions provide a user-friendly tool for many such groups. Most parents love talking about their children and that is where these sessions begin, but the material gently and fearlessly takes parents to the good and bad news about children, and about us: a gospel opportunity on a plate.

“Easy to use”

We have just used this course for the first time as part of the new mums support group that we set up during the covid pandemic. Not being able to run our normal toddler group enabled us to focus on first time new mums. We started meeting in September, but didn't use this material until after Christmas, once we had already established good relationships. We had a couple of Christian mums in the group, but the rest were non-Christians. I found leading the group really straightforward with the videos and leaders notes. The questions are so well written to encourage everyone to answer, whatever their own views on Christianity are. It lead to some great discussions and some fantastic insights in to where these mums were at. Whilst not all of it was directly relevant for mums with very young babies, we could easily adapt the bits about older toddlers and ask what they anticipated things would be like. The mums really enjoyed it and we will be running it again - as an add on at the end of the group, so there is no pressure to stay. I'd also now feel confident to run it as part of our toddler group once that fully reopens.

“A good resource to encourage parents to explore God's design”

A good conversation starter that can be taken to any level. This material is thought provoking and relevant for today's parents.

“Excellent resource”

(Review written for 'Wonderfully Made (DVD)')

We have just finished using this material with five non-church mums. We ran it after our parent & toddler group. We provided lunch & a creche. They have engaged more openly and positively with it than I could have ever imagined. They are all keen to do more together as a group, & to know more about what the church is about. We have bought 3 copies of the DVD & I'm encouraging church mums to use it in their homes with friends.

“Great Resource”

(Review written for 'Wonderfully Made (DVD)')

I have been using this resource over the last couple of months with a group that was set up to try and engage the mothers from our Toddler group. We ran a parenting group at the beginning of last year with an end session covering purely the spiritual development of a child. I have been using both the parenting questions and the spiritual questions from the Wonderfully Made book in the group, it seemed like the next step, to introduce the parents to why we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I would highly recommend this series

“Helpful resource for "one to ones" too”

(Review written for 'Wonderfully Made (DVD)')

My church doesn't have a toddler group but I went through this course with a 'mum friend' who I've met locally.
The material is really accessible, assuming very little (if any) knowledge of the God of the Bible, and the testimonies are easy to relate to. I thought the session on sin was particularly well done, as it's a difficult topic to introduce.
My friend and I really enjoyed it and found Mary Winter very gracious and clear. I highly recommend trying this with mums, even if your toddler group doesn't have any Christian content.
